要旨

The introduction of the Euro ushered in a rise to dominance of English contract law in European debt securities. Corporate issuers in the Euro zone chose English law significantly more often than a control group of other European countries. The Euro effect on choice of law is particularly strong for debt securities in local markets that, arguably, were most affected by the Euro. The Euro effect is not explained by differences in the suitability of English law compared to other laws, a change in issuer composition or debt securities types, and the greater market share of British and American underwriters. We argue that increased standardization benefits (network effects) from a boost in cross-border investment provide the best account of why English law conquered the European debt securities market.
