ECMI Research

The ECMI Research output is classified into four main categories.

Commentaries are short and timely comments on market developments or regulatory developments.

Policy Briefs are short papers, of not more than ten pages, which discuss upcoming or recently implemented EU financial regulation and how it will affect market architecture, various business models, intermediaries, end-users, and other stakeholders.

Research Reports can have three purposes: to present a synthesis of recent academic literature that may be pertinent to both market participants and regulator; to analyse how certain market trends may be altering the financial landscape in Europe; or to offer views on the regulation of capital markets (10-50 pages).

Books carry out either very detailed and in-depth analyses of a particular subject related either to the regulation of, or to the development/efficiency/stability of, European capital markets, or they cover a broad range of topics related to these subjects with the purpose of presenting a coherent view unifying them within a theme  (120 pages + ).
