Petr Moltchanov

Mr. Moltchanov will study existing corporate governance systems in the United States. Specifically, he will focus on the legal framework, corporate structure and internal mechanisms of corporate control that prevent shareholders from their rights violation, information disclosure standards, privatization, bankruptcy mechanisms and relations with investment banks and other financial intermediary issues. He hopes to identify ways in which the US system can be adapted to Russian conditions and help strengthen its weak financial infrastructure. Mr. Moltchanov believes that the recent scandals in corporate America will most likely serve to improve the US system even further and that these new developments will be of great relevance to Russia. At Yale, Mr. Moltchanov will take advantage of the resources at the Yale School of Management, specifically the International Center for Finance and the International Institute for Corporate Governance.
