The American Economic Association has announced that this year's John Bates Clark Medal has been awarded to [Susan Athey](http://kuznets.fas.harvard.edu/~athey/), professor of economics here at Harvard. The Clark Medal is awarded every other year to an American economist under the age of 40 who has made a significant contribution to economic thought. Previous winners include Kenneth Arrow, Dale Jorgenson, James Heckman, Jerry Hausman, and (most recently) Daron Acemoglu. Professor Athey stands out in one respect, however; she is the first woman to be awarded the Clark Medal (and about time, too!). For more information, see the [AEA announcment](http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AEA/JBCMedalist_Bio.htm) or coverage in the [Harvard Crimson](http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=518443).
