Sir Oliver Simon D'Arcy Hart [a] Harvard University . Together with Bengt R. Holmström , he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2016.
Biography [ edit ]
Oliver Hart was born in Britain to Philip D'Arcy Hart , a medical researcher, and Ruth Meyer, a gynecologist. Both his parents were Jewish ; his father was a member of the Montagu family; Oliver's great-grandfather was Samuel Montagu, 1st Baron Swaythling .[4]
Hart earned his B.A. in mathematics at King's College, Cambridge , in 1969 (where his contemporaries included the former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King ), his M.A. in economics at the University of Warwick in 1972, and his Ph.D. in economics at Princeton University in 1974. He completed his doctoral dissertation, titled "Essays in the economics of uncertainty", under the supervision of Michael Rothschild .[5] University of Essex ,[6] Churchill College, Cambridge , and then a professor at the London School of Economics . In 1984, he returned to the U.S., where he taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and, since 1993, at Harvard University .[7] [7] [8] American Academy of Arts and Sciences , of the Econometric Society , of the American Finance Association , a corresponding fellow of the British Academy , and a member of the National Academy of Sciences . He has been president of the American Law and Economics Association and vice president of the American Economic Association and has several honorary degrees.[9] [10]
In 2016, Hart won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Bengt Holmström for their work on contract theory , including his work on how ownership should be allocated and when contracting is beneficial over ownership.[11] [12]
Hart was knighted in the 2023 Birthday Honours for services to economic theory.[13]
Academics [ edit ]
Hart is an expert on contract theory , theory of the firm , corporate finance , and law and economics . His research centers on the roles that ownership structure and contractual arrangements play in the governance and boundaries of corporations. His research has emphasized the importance of contractual incompleteness — the inability of parties to contract on every contingency.[14] [9] [11]
Personal life [ edit ]
Hart holds dual British and United States citizenship.[15]
He is married to Rita B. Goldberg, a Harvard literature professor and author of the second-generation Holocaust memoir Motherland: Growing Up With the Holocaust .[7] [16]
