John Bates Clark Medal

|
The John Bates Clark Medal is awarded biannually by the American Economic Association to "that American economist under the age of forty who is adjudged to have made a significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge". Named after the American Neoclassical economist John Bates Clark (1847-1938), it is considered one of the two most prestigious awards in the field of economics, along with the Bank of Sweden memorial prize. Around 50% of past Medal winners have gone on to win the more frequently-awarded Nobel, following an average wait of over 20 years.
