John A. List

John is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics. His passion is using field experiments to explore economic questions. He views field experiments as representing a unique manner in which to obtain data because they force the researcher to understand everyday phenomena, many of which we stumble upon frequently.
