Stewart Clay Myers (born August 1, 1940) is the Robert C. Merton (1970) Professor of Financial Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management.[1] He is notable for his work on capital structure and innovations in capital budgeting and valuation, and has had a "remarkable influence" on both the theory and practice of corporate finance.[2] Myers, in fact, coined the term "real option". He is the co-author with Richard A. Brealey and Franklin Allen of Principles of Corporate Finance, a widely used and cited business school textbook, now in its 11th edition. He is also the author of dozens of research articles.[3]

Recent projects include the valuation of investments in R&D, risk management, and the allocation of capital in diversified firms, and the theory of corporate governance.

He is currently a principal of economic consulting firm The Brattle Group.[7] He is a past president of the American Finance Association,[8] a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research,[9] and a director of the Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance.
