2022 SAET Conference - July 16 - 22, 2022

Welcome to the 21st annual SAET Conference being held at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia from 16-22 July 2022.

About the book - The Voltage Effect"In The Voltage Effect, List argues that for an idea to have a widespread impact, it must achieve 'high voltage'—the ability to be replicated at scale. By understanding how scaling works, List says, we can drive change in our schools, workplaces, communities, and society at large. Because a better world can only be built at scale." – Wall Street JournalAbout the author - Professor John A. ListJohn A. List is the Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago, and holds the appointment of Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Australian National University.

His research focuses on combining field experiments with economic theory to deepen our understanding of the economic science. In the early 1990s, List pioneered field experiments as a methodology for testing behavioral theories and learning about behavioral principles that are shared across different domains. To obtain data for his field experiments, List has made use of several different markets, including charitable fundraising activities, the sports trading card industry, the ride-share industry, and the education sector, to highlight a few. This collective research has lead to collaborative work with several different schools and charities, as well as firms including: Lyft, Uber, United Airlines, Virgin Airlines, Humana, Sears, Kmart, Facebook, Google, General Motors, Tinder, Citadel, Walmart and several non-profits.

His research includes over 200 peer-reviewed journal articles and several published textbooks. He co-authored the international best seller, The Why Axis, in 2013, and is author to a new best seller, The Voltage Effect.

List was elected a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2015. List received the 2010 Kenneth Galbraith Award, the 2008 Arrow Prize for Senior Economists for his research in behavioral economics in the field, and was the 2012 Yrjo Jahnsson Lecture Prize recipient. He is a current Editor of the Journal of Political Economy.
