...individuals. Andrei Shleifer, on the other hand, is infamous for his alleged improprieties in dealings with government contracts in Russia and his close relationship with former University President Lawrence H. Summers. Apart from that, Shleifer is a heavyweight in the world of behavioral finance and much of said portion of the class can be traced directly back to his research.
