Michael C. Jensen (born 1939) is one of the most influential financial economists of the twentieth century and a longtime professor at Harvard Business School and the University of Rochester. A Theory of the Firm gathers the seminal papers in which Jensen, with William Meckling and others, developed the agency theory of the corporation, analyzing the conflicts of interest between managers and shareholders and the ways that ownership structure, executive compensation, and the market for corporate control shape organizational behavior. His 1976 paper with Meckling, Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure, is among the most frequently cited works in all of economics, and the ideas collected in this volume reshaped the modern understanding of corporate governance and the theory of the firm.
