Steven Levitt
Steven D. Levitt is an American economist known for his work in applying economic theory to diverse, real-world subjects not traditionally analyzed through an economic lens. He is a co-author of the best-selling book 'Freakonomics,' which explores topics like crime, parenting, and cheating using data analysis and the concept of incentives. In academic circles, he is also recognized for his research in experimental economics, such as his 2007 paper with John List that examines the external validity of social preferences measured in laboratory settings.
