The Author Book Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores The Hidden Side Of Everything (P.S.) and the author of 2 another books.
Steven David "Steve" Levitt (born May 29, 1967) is an American economist known for his work in the field of crime, in particular on the link between legalized abortion and crime rates.
Winner of the 2004 John Bates Clark Medal, he is currently the William B.
Ogden Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, director of the Becker Center on Chicago Price Theory at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
He was co-editor of the Journal of Political Economy published by the University of Chicago Press until December 2007.
He co-authored the best-selling book Freakonomics (2005) and its sequel Superfreakonomics (2009).
He is a grand-nephew of Robert L.
May, the lyricist of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
In 2009, Levitt co-founded The Greatest Good, a business and philanthropy consulting company.
He was chosen as one of Time magazine's "100 People Who Shape Our World" in 2006.
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? How much do parents really matter? These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He studies the riddles of everyday life—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports—and reaches conclusions that turn conventional wisdom on its head. Freakonomics is a groundbreaking collaboration between Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, an award-winning author and journalist. They set out to explore the inner workings of a crack gang, the truth about real estate agents, the secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, and much more. Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, they show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.
