Eugene F. Fama

Chicago Booth lists Fama as the Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance and notes his 2013 Nobel Prize in economic sciences. His profile emphasizes capital markets, the efficient markets hypothesis, risk, and expected return.

Fama is important for the site because securities regulation and empirical corporate-law research often rely on assumptions about price formation, information incorporation, market efficiency, and event-study methods.
