Qualification: Structuring Securities Regulation in the European Union: Lessons from the U.S. Experience

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-135 · 2026-08-08

Structuring Securities Regulation in the European Union predicts a domestic home bias in enforcement decisions that makes extraterritorial actions less likely and reduces incentives to comply. This supplies a countervailing under-enforcement risk to Kaal's warning against overbroad extraterritorial rule export. The abstract does not identify the optimal jurisdictional boundary or measure actual compliance effects.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.

The source predicts a domestic home bias in enforcement decisions that makes extraterritorial actions less likely and reduces incentives to comply. This supplies a countervailing under-enforcement risk that qualifies Kaal's warning against overbroad extraterritorial rule export, while it does not show the optimal jurisdictional boundary or measure actual compliance effects.
