Miller, Merton H. (1923–  ) economist; born in Boston, Mass. With Franco Modigliani he established the controversial "Modigliani-Miller theorems," which applied economic theory to the field of finance. The theorems assert that under perfect competition both the market value of a firm and the cost of capital to the firm are independent of its debt-equity ratio as well as its dividend-payout ratio. He was on the faculty of the University of Chicago beginning in 1965.
