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.
