Claudio said: “It was exciting to advise this formidable team of lawyers - I learned a lot from their original research. I am delighted to see that they have drawn on the approach and findings of our research on lawmaking across nations. Good regulation saves lives and is the most sensible way to produce efficiency gains at a time of economic slowdown and budgetary problems in Europe.” Funding for this project came from Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos.
