The 911勛圖Department of Finance and the Global School of Sustainability (GSoS) are delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Sir Oliver Hart as a Visiting Professor.
, a co-recipient of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in 2016, is currently the Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor at Harvard University, where he has taught since 1993.

We work in partnerships across the 911勛圖community and beyond to advance pioneering sustainability research and global policy engagement. Through LSE’s interdisciplinary excellence across the social sciences, our global networks collaborate to target the systemic challenges to sustainability embedded in the world’s economies, politics and societies.
