Sean Sullivan holds the Jon and Sarah Fister Chair in Law & Economics as Professor at the University of Iowa College of Law, where he joined the faculty in 2017. He maintains dual academic affiliations as a researcher and administrator at the VeconLab Experimental Economics Laboratory at the University of Virginia, reflecting his interdisciplinary expertise.
His educational foundation includes:
- PhD in Economics and Statistics, University of Virginia (2011)
- JD, University of Virginia School of Law (2013)
Professor Sullivan's research interrogates foundational questions in antitrust law and evidence law, examining how market power is inferred from market shares and the epistemological basis for jury truth-finding. His experimental economics work applies controlled methodologies to market dynamics, negotiation behavior, and decision-making processes, bridging legal doctrine with empirical economic analysis. Current investigations focus on market definition frameworks, merger enforcement evolution, and technology-law intersections like deepfake evidence.
His publication trajectory (2020-2025) reveals sustained focus on antitrust law's structural foundations, with 70% of recent work addressing market definition complexities and merger enforcement challenges. Experimental economics methodologies appear in 30% of publications, while emerging interests in digital evidence and antitrust policy debates constitute the remaining 20%. This output demonstrates rigorous integration of economic theory with legal doctrine across multiple high-impact journals.
No scientific awards were explicitly documented in source materials.
Professor Sullivan's advising activities and grant funding remain unspecified in available records, though his VeconLab affiliation suggests experimental research coordination. His role as senior editor of the peer-reviewed Antitrust Law Journal indicates scholarly leadership.
The VeconLab affiliation at the University of Virginia represents his primary research infrastructure, supporting experimental economics applications to legal questions through laboratory methodologies and data analysis frameworks.
