The Institute Rules for Growth / Droit & Croissance "D&C"​ (www.droitetcroissance.fr) is a non-partisan think tank with an ambitious project: to transform our legal environement into a real engine for growth. Rules for Growth aims at 1°) enabling businesses to more easily adapt to the brutal cycles of growth and recession and 2°) promoting corporate finance thanks to new financing methods, which run in parallel to traditional bank loans or public funds. Building on a strong foundation in economic theory and law to carry out a cost/benefit analysis of our legal system, the innovative aspect of Rules for Growth lies in establishing a valuable link between researchers in law and economics, market players in law and finance, as well as legislators, regulators and judges. The project leaders of D&C are: Sophie Vermeille, Jacques Delpla (TSE), Augustin Landier (TSE), Olivier Lecomte (ECP), Thomas Philippon (STERN), Alain Pietrancosta (Paris I), David Thesmar (HEC). Rules for Growth publishes articles which meet international academic standards. Once published, these articles are made accessible to the general public and circulated via various channels. The Institute also organises debates and helps to create databases that facilitate the work of researchers and establish links between French research centres and their European and North American counterparts.
