The American Economic Association last week awarded the 2014 John Bates Clark Medal to a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Chicago Booth Professor Matthew Gentzkow won the top honor, which is awarded each year to an American economist under the age of 40 judged to have made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge.
The Clark Medal, named after American economist John Bates Clark (1847–1938), is considered one of the two most prestigious awards in the field of economics, along with the Nobel Prize in economic science.
Gentzkow joins several other members of the University of Chicago community who have won the award, including Kevin Murphy, Gary Becker, Milton Friedman, Jim Heckman and Steve Levitt. Some 40 percent of Clark Medal winners go on to win the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, the school reports.
