Earlier in the year, BETA caught up with Professor John A. List at the 2018 Behavioural Exchange Conference (BX2018) where he presented a keynote speech. Professor List is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics and Chairman in the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. He’s a pioneer in using field experiments as a methodology to better understand human behaviour. 

In this episode, Professor List talks about: 
• the importance of field experiments in getting the theory or policy right 
• how we need to improve the science of doing science, in particular how we scale up successful case studies 
• how we can better invest in human capital.

Professor List also mentions some of the work he’s done in behavioural economics, including his year-long stint in the White House using behavioural economics to tackle big policy issues.
