Prof. John A. List - Using Field Experiments to Make the World a Better Place

Описание: 2015 Economics Distinguished Lecture
Abstract: Life is a Lab. That is the view of John A. List of University of Chicago, this year’s distinguished lecturer. In this lecture, List showcases some of his recent field experiments that shed insights on why women earn less money than men, why inner city schools continue to fail, why people discriminate, and how we can use field experiments to make the world a better place. His experiences range from conducting large-scale governmental field experiments in the UK and the US to experiments on Craigslist that are essentially free.
