Abstract

Unlike the banks, European hedge funds did not require bailouts during the Euro crisis, leaving their public image relatively untarnished. However, Gil Shidlo argues hedge funds in Europe will now be regulated more heavily than in the US due to their failure to lobby the European Commission until too late in the financial crisis.
