Presentation

Since the first papers published by R. La Porta, F. Lopez-de-Silanes, A. Shleifer and R. W. Vishny on "Law and Finance" and their mention in the World Bank reports “Doing Business”, the debate about the effects of Law over economic growth has been evolving significantly. A Research program has been launched in 2004 in order :

To assess the comparative efficiency of some legal instruments stemming from the Civil Law tradition and thus, to compare and to evaluate these instruments with regard to the development of economic transactions;

To prove that legal diversity in financial and business transactions is a key element of economic efficiency since diversity brings legal certainty. On the contrary, a hurried standardization of Law brings a lot of adverse effects to international investors.
