Dale Weldeau Jorgenson (May 7, 1933 – June 8, 2022) was an American economist who served as the Samuel W. Morris University Professor at Harvard University.[3] An influential econometric scholar, he was famed for his work on the relationship between productivity and economic growth, the economics of climate change, and the intersection between economics and statistics.[4] Described as a "master" of his field, he received the John Bates Clark Medal in 1971, and was described as a worthy contender for the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[4][5]
