What is John A. List best known for?

I am best known for pioneering the use of randomized field experiments in economics. My work aims to bring the rigor of controlled laboratory experiments into real-world settings. By intervening in actual markets and social interactions, I can test economic theories with greater external validity and understand the true drivers of behavior, moving beyond theoretical models and survey data.
