Ferrarini's research centers on financial markets law, corporate law, business regulation, and executive remuneration, with increasing focus on ESG integration and sustainable finance. His work critically examines corporate purpose, stakeholder governance, and regulatory frameworks across banking, digital assets, and shareholder rights. He employs comparative legal analysis to address tensions between financial innovation and market stability.
His 15 most recent publications (2020-2024) reveal three dominant trends: (1) ESG-driven evolution of executive compensation structures, (2) regulatory responses to digital finance (notably MiCA), and (3) reconceptualization of corporate purpose beyond shareholder primacy. These works consistently bridge theoretical governance models with practical regulatory implementation across European jurisdictions.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Dr. jur. h.c. from Ghent University (2009)
