Stephen J. Dubner (b. August 26, 1963) is an American journalist who has written four books and numerous articles. Dubner is best known as co-author (with economist Steven Levitt) of the pop-economics book "".

Background

Stephen J. Dubner grew up in a rural area outside Albany, New York in a town called Duanesburg, as the youngest of eight children in a devout Roman Catholic family. His parents, Paul and Veronica Dubner, had converted to Catholicism from Judaism, which Dubner then returned to as an adult [http://www.stephenjdubner.com/journalism/033196.html] . His first published work was in the American children's magazine "Highlights for Children".

Dubner received a scholarship from Appalachian State University in North Carolina, and graduated in 1984. At Appalachian he formed a band, "The Right Profile," which was signed to Arista Records. In 1988, he stopped playing music to focus more on writing, going on to receive an MFA in Writing from Columbia University (1990), where he also taught in the English Department.

Dubner currently resides in New York City with his wife, Ellen Binder, and their two children.
