The American’s 2008 Young Economist Award went to Raj Chetty. Chapeau bas, this guy totally deserves it (see for instance a recent ReStud paper of his that impressed me)! And no surprise there; in fact, should he keep his publishing pace, I think Chetty has considerable chances of becoming the youngest winner of the John Bates Clark award (see who was the ’07 winner of that prestigious prize).
