Stephen J. Spurr

University of Chicago, Ph.D. in Economics, 1986

My primary research interests are in the areas of labor economics and economic analysis of law. I have published articles on promotion and turnover, sports economics, the economics of the legal profession, alternative dispute resolution, organ transplantation, medical malpractice, and capital punishment. My most recent research concerns the practice boundaries between physicians and advanced practice nurses.

I have presented papers at the following conferences:

The Practice Boundaries of Nurse Anesthetists: An Economic and Legal Analysis, 30th Annual Conference, Eastern Economic Association, Washington, D.C., February 20, 2004./

The Practice Boundaries of Nurse Anesthetists: An Economic and Legal Analysis, 77th Annual Conference, Western Economic Association, Seattle, Washington, July 7, 2002./ Statistical Discrimination and Professional Sports: The Drafts in Baseball and Basketball, 76th Annual Conference, Western Economic Association, San Francisco, California, July 7, 2001./

The Future of Capital Punishment, Center for Legal Studies Lecture Series, Wayne State University, April 11, 2001.

I have some general familiarity with the MEAP tests, since I have two sons who recently completed high school in Michigan.
