The Voltage Effect

John List

Revue économique, 2023, vol. 74, issue 5, 673-680

Abstract: Businesses, governments, and individuals have dealt with bringing ideas to scale, sometimes successfully, but all too often unsuccessfully. Scaling is at the core of my book The Voltage Effect (2022). In both the book and this paper, I aim to elucidate what I have learned from using economics to understand the world. The paper proceeds first by describing the origins of my work on scaling and The Voltage Effect. Scaling has long been considered an art, but there was clearly a need for a scientific understanding. Following the origins, is an overview of some of the key takeaways from The Voltage Effect: identifying ideas with the potential to scale and the tools to take ideas to scale. JEL Codes : A10, A12, D01, D91.
