Dale Jorgenson has passed away
Date: 27 June 2022
It was with deep sadness that we learned that Dale Jorgenson had died on 8 June 2022 at the age of 89. He was an intellectual giant whose contributions to economics were broad and deep. The World KLEMS Consortium would not have existed without Dale, who has been one of the leading scholars in developing the growth accounting tradition, and a driving force behind the World KLEMS' bi-annual conferences. John Fernald, Robert Inklaar, and Bart van Ark have written an obituary which can be read on the website of VoxEU.org.
