The Why Axis: Hidden Motives and the Undiscovered Economics of Everyday Life : The Why Axis
Autor John List, Uri Gneezyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2014
Based on groundbreaking original research, The Why Axis is a colourful examination of why people do what they do – and how effective incentives can spur people to change their behaviour and achieve more.
Uri Gneezy and John List are a little like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying people in their native environments. But rather than acting as impartial observers, these two intrepid economists have set out to study the ways people act in order to try to solve major problems in society, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; and the continuing pay disparity between men and women.
Their field experiments in the factories, communities, and shops where real people live, work, and play show how incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way you think about and take action on both small and large problems, and force us as a society to stop making assumptions and to rely instead upon the evidence of what really works.

Recenzii
“John
List
and
Uri
Gneezy
are
leaders
in
the
area
of
experimental
and
behavioral
economics
and
rising
stars
of
the
profession.
Their
work
bridges
the
gap
between
the
lab
and
the
field
and
enables
us
to
learn
how
economic
agents
make
real
decisions
in
controlled
environments
and
as
the
economic
stakes
change.
A
book
bringing
their
distinctive
perspectives
and
styles
has
the
potential
of
being
a
real
home
run.”—Prof.
Daron
Acemoglu,
Professor
of
Economics,
M.I.T,
coauthor
ofWhy
Nations
Fail
“Gneezy and List are two of the most brilliant and interesting economists in the world. Their work is simultaneously scientifically path breaking and accessible to the general public. They've studied prosaic markets like baseball card conventions, daycare centers, and auto-repair shops, but their ideas are so deep that Gneezy and List reveal that these mundane markets turn out to hold the secrets of human motivation and human behavior. Their work has revolutionized all of social science. I can't wait to read a book that they write.”—Prof. David Laibson, Professor of Economics, Harvard University

“Gneezy
and
List...
specialize
in
ingenious
'field
experiments'
that
elucidate
the
workings
of
social
psychology
and
decision
making...Writing
in
the
Freakonomics
vein
of
breezy
pop-econ...
The
authors'
lucid,
engaging
exposition
of
thought-provoking
research
spotlights
some
of
our
more
perverse
promptings—and
their
underlying
logic."
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review
“Fun, Freakonomics-style stories about why people do the things they do….Gneezy and List offer illuminating discussions on many topics, from the differences between animus-based and economic discrimination to how women can grow up to be more competitive and close the gender gap in the labor market.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“[T]rue trailblazers in one of the greatest innovations in economics of the last fifty years.”
—Steven D. Levitt, coauthor ofFreakonomics
“Uri Gneezy is a pioneer whose work tears down the wall between the lab and the field.”
—Alvin E. Roth, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
