Prof Dr Alexander Hellgardt, BA, LLM (Harvard), Chair of Private Law, Corporate Law and Jurisprudence at the University of Regensburg, spoke about his current research project on ‘Regulatory Instruments in the Real Word’. This research project deals with the comparison of different (legal) regulatory instruments and investigates their different steering effects. In particular, Prof Hellgardt presented the aim and methods of the project and talked about different (experimental and empirical) research approaches.

Finally, under the moderation of Prof Dr Susanne Augenhofer, LLM (Yale), the audience was invited to address their questions to Prof Hellgardt in the course of a discussion session.
