Harvey Leibenstein (1922 – February 28, 1994) was a Ukrainian-born American economist. He was a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley from 1951 to 1967 and at Harvard University from 1967 to 1987.[1][2] One of his most important contributions to economics was the concept of X-inefficiency and the critical minimum effort thesis in development economics.
