The Antoine Faure-Grimaud Prizes are awarded in memory of Professor Antoine Faure-Grimaud (1968-2009), whose career at the LSE spanned 13 years and whose reputation as a researcher in corporate finance and regulatory economics placed him at the very top of the profession internationally. He played a key role in building the Department of Finance and was a cornerstone of the Department's PhD programme and the Financial Markets Group's Corporate Finance and Governance programme, which he directed.
