Gordon, Myron J. ( 1920-2010 )
Como
teórico de la administración de empresas, Myron J. Gordon ha analizado el uso
de los sistemas contables para el control descentralizado de grandes empresas.
Ha estado interesado también en la estimación del capital y del
valor de empresas y en comparaciones teóricas sobre el papel del mercado y las
instituciones públicas en el control de los beneficios empresariales. Una
de sus aportaciones más conocidas es el modelo de
dividendos descontados con crecimiento, cuando los
dividendos son generados por empresas que reinvierten una parte de sus
beneficios.
También ha realizado aportaciones interesantes en el análisis del crecimiento y la estabilidad en la economía del bienestar y en el socialismo de mercado, prestando una atención especial a la economía de China.
Se graduó en Economía en la University of Wisconsin en 1941. Tras la guerra mundial continuó sus estudios en la Harvard University donde obtuvo su maestría en 1947 y el doctorado en 1952. Tiene también un doctorado honorífico en Derecho, concedido por la McMaster University en 1993.

Ha sido también profesor visitante en la University of California en Berkeley (1966-67), la Hebrew University de Jerusalem (1973), la University of Pennsylvania (1977) y la New York University (1985).
Fue Presidente de la American Finance Association y es miembro de la Royal Society of Canada desde1993.
