Lucas' Law
Economic law proposed by one "Spencer R Lucas", which is likely an elaborate hoax. I can find no such economist mentioned elsewhere - <"Spencer Lucas" Cambridge> throws up only unrelated results ; and the entire article is thoroughly unreferenced. (The sole ref is to a pdf stashed in a university intranet which requires logging in.) Strong delete, unless references are found. Pegasus &laquo;C&brvbar;T&raquo; 17:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete.  I agree with your assessment.  I found a lot of information of a highly notable economist named Robert Lucas, Jr. who published papers regarding the exogenous growth model in 1988.    However, I can find nothing on this "law" or "extension" or an economist named "Spencer Lucas".  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 17:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete barring references. Coanda-1910 (talk) 19:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete &mdash; this is absolutely a hoax. Not only does it lack references completely, but it is really, really confused from an economic perspective.  I've seen a number of treatments and extensions of Solow's model for an open economy, and this doesn't follow any of them &mdash; indeed, it has a number of pretty serious modeling flaws, which indicate to me that it's not a notable concept. --Haemo (talk) 07:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
