An economist of Indian origin tops–Hail him!

Americans applauded him, American President Obama admired him, and we Indians owe him plenty of laurels for becoming one in the top 8 economists in the world at too young an age. He is Raj Chetty, originally an Indian (born in New Delhi), professionally an American, who has since won most prestigious an Award  in America that is called ‘Baby Nobel’. This he has achieved for Economics. Aged only 33, he has been named the 2013 winner of the John Bates Clark Medal. This is the Medal which the American Economic Association awards every year to an American economist below the age of 40 years for economic thought and knowledge. American Economic Association praised the young economist in the following words:

“He has established himself in a few short years as arguably the best applied micro-economist of his generation”

We, Indians, are proud of you, Raj Chetty. We offer you laurels, we adore you.
