Recently-published research by Turner
College economics professor Frank Mixon and his colleagues Benno
Torgler of Queensland University of Technology (Australia) and Kamal Upadhyaya
of the University of New Haven explores the link between winning the Nobel
Prize in Economic Sciences and the John Bates Clark Medal, which is awarded
annually to an American economist under the age of 40 and is widely considered
by academic economists as the discipline’s second-most prestigious honor. Given that many of the winners of the latter
prize go on to later win the former, Mixon and his co-authors examine the link
between winning the two awards using data from all previous Clark Medal
recipients. The results of their study,
which appears in a 2017 issue of Scientometrics,
suggest that a one standard deviation increase (from the mean level) in the
“impact” of a Clark Medalist’s scholarly portfolio is enough to reduce the time
span between bestowal of these two honors by almost 10 years, an important
consideration given that the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.
The Turner College's new marketing intern Lizzy Grant , a senior marketing major from Newnan who previously attended Gordon State College, where she played varsity soccer, and is scheduled to graduate from the Turner College in May of 2024, has hit the ground running in her new position.
