The Clark Medal is considered the most important award in economics after the Nobel Prize. It is awarded every year in April to an economist under the age of 40 who, in the judgment of the jury, has made the most significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge.

As a member of the MGSE and the CRC TR 15, he first conducted economic research at our department, before completing his Ph.D. in Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2019, he was appointed to Harvard University where he is now a full professor.

Ludwig Straub is a former member of the MGSE and the CRC TR 15 “Governance and the Efficiency of Economic Systems”. He studied physics, mathematics, and economics (B.Sc. in Physics) at LMU Munich and mathematics (M.A.St.) at the University of Cambridge before switching to economics.

🎉We congratulate @ludwigstraub.bsky.social who has been awarded the 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹 by the @aeainformation.bsky.social 👏👏👏
