A Medalha John Bates Clark (em inglês, John Bates Clark Medal) é concedida pela American Economic Association para “aquele economista estadunidense com idade inferior a 40 anos que fez uma contribuição significativa ao pensamento e conhecimento econômico”.[1]
De acordo com o periódico The Chronicle of Higher Education, a medalha “é amplamente reconhecida como um dos mais prestigiosos prêmios em seu campo, talvez suplantada apenas pelo Nobel de Economia.”[2] A medalha era bianual até 2007, e está sendo concedida anualmente desde 2009, porque muitos merecedores da condecoração estavam sendo alijados.[3] O comitê citou economistas como Edward Glaeser e John List em campanha pela anualidade da medalha.
Homenageia o economista neoclássico John Bates Clark. Embora tenha o rótulo “economista estadunidense”, basta no entanto que o laureado trabalhe nos Estados Unidos na época de sua nomeação, não sendo necessária a nacionalidade estadunidense.[4]
