Professor John List Talks Current Economy, Sports Economics, and Career! (Sports Talk Chicago / WCKG 6-19-20)

On today’s show, I catch up with Professor John List, Economics Professor at The University of Chicago, and former Senior Economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers! We discuss the current state of the U.S. economy, and predict when it can return to normal. We also talk about his work in experimental economics, which includes studies on education, charitable giving, the MLB Draft, and Uber. Later in the show, Professor List recounts his journey from the University of Central Florida, to the White House, and now UChicago, plus shares the time that he drank goat’s blood while in Tanzania!
