Robert W. Vishny

Robert Ward Vishny is an American economist and was the Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.

He received his A.B. with highest distinction (economics, mathematics, and philosophy) from the University of Michigan in 1981 and Ph.D. (Economics) from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985.

He is one of the prominent representatives of the school of behavioral finance. His research activities include: market for corporate control; corporate governance around the world; privatization and the role of government in the economy; behavior of institutional investors; behavior of stock prices; the economics of corruption and rent-seeking behavior. His research papers (many of them written jointly with Andrei Shleifer, Rafael LaPorta and Josef Lakonishok) are among the most often cited research works in the field of economic sciences in recent years.

Dr. Vishny heads the NBER Program in Corporate Finance. In 1994 he has founded (along with Lakonishok and Shleifer) LSV Asset Management (LSV) - a quantitative value equity manager providing active management for institutional investors through the application of proprietary investment models based on the principles of behavioural finance. He is still actively involved in the firm as one of its founding partners and portfolio managers.
