Steven Levitt wins

Filed in archive Global Economy on January 15, 2004

Steven Levitt the economic genius gets another laudation from the Economist. He was awarded with the John Bates Clark medal for the best economist under 40 who has made the greatest contribution by the American Economic Association (AEA).

"If you browse through the working papers circulated by the National Bureau of Economic Research you will find that in 2003 alone Mr Levitt wrote or co-wrote seven. His topics included the effect of school choice on educational results; the causes and consequences of distinctively black names; the effect of legalised abortion on crime; how to test theories of discrimination using evidence from the television programme, "The Weakest Link"; the gap in test results between blacks and whites in the first two years of schooling; gambling and the National Football League; and teachers who cheat in appraisals of their students' performance."
