Steven DURLAUF is the Steans Professor in Educational Policy at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society and of the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory as well as a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). In 2011, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Among his editorial duties, he is the current Editor of the Journal of Economic Literature.
His research spans many topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics. His most important substantive contributions involve the areas of poverty, inequality and economic growth. Much of his research has attempted to integrate sociological ideas into economic analysis. His major methodological contributions include both economic theory and econometrics. He helped pioneer the application of statistical mechanics techniques to the modelling of socioeconomic behaviour and has also developed identification analyses for the empirical analogs of these models. Other research has focused on techniques for policy evaluation and the econometrics of cross country income differences.
