Fontana’s dissertation explores whether US investors price in the risk inherent in the Brussels Effect — which reflects theoretical expectations that European Union (EU) regulations exert extraterritorial influence (Bradford, 2020) — by examining the capital market reaction to the approval of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
