A Call for Academics to Join Policy Debates Over Securities Regulations

SEC Opens the Door to Academic Input on Equity Market Structure Reforms

In a recent address before the Center for the Study of Financial Regulation at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, SEC Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar urged academics to engage more actively in policy debates over securities regulation. Commissioner Piwowar is particularly interested in “data-driven” input from academics in connection with potential reforms to the structure of the U.S. securities markets. The Commission recently finalized the composition of a Market Structure Advisory Committee that will focus on the structure and operations of the U.S. equities markets and will function as a forum and resource for reviewing specific, clearly articulated initiatives or rule proposals. Piwowar sees the Committee’s work as a prime opportunity for academics studying the securities markets to provide real input and make their voices heard.
