Wallace R. Baker, Americanization of French Law Through Finance: Myth or Reality?
The author finds significant influence of American law through the adoption of the SEC model in France and financial law in general. Although rules governing insider trading are also similar in the US and in France, once they are imported they take on characteristics of French law and become different from the American rules from which they were inspired.

Key Words : finance, model, SEC, insider trading
