How does economic law fit into the wider context of "traditional" legal disciplines? What is the concrete meaning for economic operators of a legal discipline aimed at identifying in the polymorphic relationship between law and economy the most suitable for the inherent legal context? These are the main issues on which the two-part course is structured: A) general principles of the European Economic Law; B) European Capital Market Law and Fintech

Prerequisiti
Not binding prerequisites but suggested: basic notions of private, public and EU law.
Metodi Didattici
The lectures are divided into two modules: a general theory module covering the fundamentals of law, the methodology adopted in the analysis of economic regulation and the application to EU law; a second module devoted entirely to European capital market regulation. The lectures are face-to-face but make use of continuous interaction with the students present in the classroom.

Modalità di verifica apprendimento
Learning assessment methods are set up as follows:
A) An oral exam based on a paper for attending students;
B) An oral exam for not attending students.
A) The oral exam focuses on the general part of the course. The paper must be a maximum seven hundred words on a topic dealt with in the special part of the course (state aid, policy competition, European capital market law). The final evaluation of the student is provided for 50% by the oral exam and 50% by the written test.
B) The oral exam covers both the general and special part of the course. Questions may concern all the topics covered in the suggested textbooks. Usually are three questions on the first part, and two on the special part.
In both cases, the tests aim at verifying: 1) the knowledge acquired regarding the concepts, models and tools that have been the subject of the course; 2) the skills developed by the student: ability to apply the acquired knowledge, ability to draw conclusions, ability to communicate and use an adequate language, understanding and learning skills.
