At BI, we have a tradition of awarding honorary doctorates to individuals of exceptional distinction. As part of our 80th year anniversary in 2023, we were pleased to announce three new Honorary Doctorates. One of the recipients is Professor Kathryn E. Spier. Although we announced this in 2023, circumstances prevented us from formally recognizing Professor Spier at that time. She will visit BI in September during a conference, where she will participate as a keynote speaker. 

All BI employees are invited to attend her keynote lecture and join us in celebrating her achievements and contributions to the fields of law and economics.

Kathryn Spier is a professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Kathryn Spier is an interdisciplinary researcher with work experience both in law and economics, but also in management and strategy. She has published in top journals in economics and has an impressive publication record. Her research covers areas such as economics of litigation, contracts, tort law, antitrust and business organisation.

In 2023, when BI launched its programmes in Law, it was especially fitting to award an Honorary Doctorate to Kathryn E. Spier, who embodies excellence in both law and economics.
