It is with great pleasure that we offer Dr. Dave Donaldson (Stanford University) our warmest congratulations for being awarded the 2017 John Bates Clark Medal, one of the most prestigious American Economic Association awards.

The Clark Medalist has been a GLM|LIC researcher since 2013. Dr. Donaldson is a Co-Investigator of the project “Estimate the Effect of Local Labour Demand Shocks on Internal Migration and Local Wages”.
