Dr Mantzari co-hosts FGV Brazil Workshop on Courts, Regulators & the Scrutiny of Economic Evidence
8 November 2022
Dr Mantzari co-hosted a Workshop on Courts, Regulators, and the Scrutiny of Economic Evidence in Latin America with think tank FGV Brazil.
In early September, Dr Despoina (Deni) Mantzari together with Professors Caio Mario da Silva Pereira Neto and Mateus Piva Adami from FGV Brazil hosted the exploratory workshop on Courts, Regulators, and the Scrutiny of Economic Evidence in Latin America.
Funded by a UCL Global Engagement Fund, and inspired by the theme of Deni Mantzari’s monograph, the two-panel workshop sought to discuss the interaction of courts and regulators with economic evidence in three key jurisdictions: Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.
In the first panel, moderated by Prof Caio Mario da Silva Pereira Neto (FGV Brazil), Mariana Mota Prado (University of Toronto Faculty of Law) and Lucas Sierra (Universidad de Chile) discussed the transformation of the Regulatory State in Latin America with insightful presentations covering novel theoretical approaches and recent institutional developments. In the second panel, moderated by Dr Despoina Mantzari (UCL), Lucas S. Grosman (Universidad de San Andrés) and Javier Tapia (former Judge at the Chilean Competition Tribunal, 2014-2020) discussed the scrutiny of economic evidence in Latin America, commenting on the structural challenges and presenting their own experience as regulators.
This exploratory workshop will support future research on the interaction of legal and economic rationalities with a particular focus on the integration of economic evidence in regulatory and adjudicative decision-making processes in Latin America.
