Oliver Hart, who was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Economics for his contributions to contract theory, focuses on research fields such as contract theory, firm theory, corporate finance, and legal economics. He is one of the founders of contract theory, modern firm theory, and corporate finance theory. Based solely on his unique work \Firms, Contracts, and Financial Structure\, he laid the foundation for the theory of \incomplete contracts\. This theory later became an important school of modern enterprise theory, deeply influencing the development of modern contract theory, firm theory, and corporate finance theory. This work also became a classic textbook of enterprise theory. In recent years, the theory of \incomplete contracts\ has attracted more attention from mainstream economics and has been widely applied in various branches of economics, becoming an important innovative tool in fields such as organizational economics, political economics, corporate finance, international trade, and legal economics
