According to London-based Clarivate, the company that publishes the annual list of awardees, Katz now totals nearly 26,000 citations across 72 academic publications."
"A total of 22 Citation Laureates were announced this year, with Clarivate touting its program as a shortlist of worthy recipients for the world's top scientific distinction. Since 2002, 83 Citation Laureates have gone on to win Nobel Prizes. Katz, who is also the editor of The Quarterly Journal of Economics, discussed everything from AI to the power of connecting across socioeconomic class in this conversation, which has been edited for clarity and length."
