Troy A. Paredes, Commissioner, Securities and Exchange Commission:  Appointed by President George W. Bush, Troy A. Paredes joined the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2008. Earlier, he was a tenured professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, with a courtesy appointment at Olin Business School. He taught, researched, and gave presentations on securities law and regulation and corporate governance, and served as an expert on various legal matters. In addition, Commissioner Paredes has researched and written about executive compensation; hedge funds; private placements; allocation of control within firms among directors, officers, and shareholders; the psychology of corporate and regulatory decision making; behavioral finance; alternative methods of regulation and market-based approaches to corporate accountability and securities regulation; comparative corporate governance, including development of such systems in emerging markets; and the law and business of commercializing innovation. In his scholarly publications, he has advocated for rigorous cost-benefit analysis when regulating, and emphasized the need for accessible and understandable disclosures that investors can use effectively. He was a co-author (beginning with the 4th edition) of the multi-volume treatise, Securities Regulation (with L. Loss and J. Seligman). Earlier, Commissioner Paredes practiced law at prominent national law firms.
