he's a very conservative economist at Harvard, famous for faking results that made Social Security look bad (or perhaps he made a mistake that he didn't notice because it fit with his preconceptions). He's the economic godfather of Greg Mankiw
thanks. I found it based on your clue:
Social Security and Private Saving: New Time-Series Evidence (in
Confirmations and Contradictions)
Dean R. Leimer, Selig D. Lesnoy
The Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 90, No. 3. (Jun., 1982), pp.
606-629.

If I'm not mistaken, Feldstein argued that social security reduced
overall savings and therefore reduced investment. Two economists at the
Social Security Adm. asked him for his data. It took a while but he
sent the data to them, and they found out that there was an error in the
computer
