Nicola Jentzsch

Ms. Jentzsch's research will focus on the international dimension of financial privacy and the promotion of an increased understanding of the differences as well as the common values in the United States and the European Union. Her focus will be on regulation as well as the competition of credit reporting agencies, because these companies are the most important information intermediaries in consumer credit markets. By comparing the regulation of privacy she hopes to understand the economic dimension of financial privacy, its implications for the markets of the western hemisphere and for international relations.
