Developing a Risk-Based Approach to Supervision
World Bank Guidance Note
This paper provides regulators who seek to (further) develop a risk-based supervision approach with a framework to systematically assess their current position and future options. A range of self analysis questions and practical examples guide regulators towards sensible design choices, given their particular context. The paper is focused on financial consumer protection regulators, but is equally valuable for regulators in other domains.
Between Scylla and Charybdis
Ph.D Thesis
Regulators frequently come across harmful but legal organisational conduct. Remarkably, almost all regulators undertake supervisory interventions to counteract such conduct. This dissertation provides insight into why and how. It also discusses to what extent this supervisory practice can be legitimate.

Renewing Capital Market Supervision is a hands-on strategy guide for capital market regulators and supervision agencies. This book enables these professionals to evaluate their strategies and methods, and initiate improvements.
Ambiguous Signaling in Regulatory Conversations
Scholarly paper
This case study investigates interactions between inspectors and regulatee representatives during regulatory conversations. We identify ambiguity as a central characteristic of these regulatory conversations. Analysing discrepancies in terms of relationship types and associated relational signals helps explain and prevent suboptimal communication and reduced acceptance of regulators’ demands by regulatees.

Regulatory Intervention beyond the Law
Scholarly paper

Tussen Scylla en Charybdis
Wetenschappelijk artikel

Geef toezichthouders ook kaders voor hun buitenwettelijk toezicht
Opiniërend artikel
Dit artikel geeft een indruk van het informele machtsspel tussen de AFM en de banken, daar waar de AFM geen wettelijke grondslag heeft (buitenwettelijk toezicht). Het artikel belicht voor- en nadelen van dergelijk toezicht en pleit voor een beleidskader om de de legitimiteit van buitenwettelijk toezicht te vergroten.
