His other research has covered such topics as economic growth, income inequality, valuing medical research, rational addiction, and unemployment. Murphy has authored over 50 published articles on a variety of topics including a cost–benefit analysis of the war in Iraq.〔(Chicago GSB Magazine: Winter 2007 )〕 On September 20, 2005, he was named as one of the 2005 recipients of the MacArthur Fellowship, often referred to as the "genius grant."
