Colin G. Clark, 1905-

Colin Grant Clark s-a nascut in Queensland, Australia. S-a format la Oxford unde a lucrat in diferite ocazii de-a lungul vietii sale. Intre1937 si 1952 a ramas in tara sa.

Ca statistician a organizat o gigantesca si pioniera colectie de date macroeconomice. A inceput cu date ale veniturilor britanice publicate in 1932, trecand apoi la analizarea datelor din intreaga lume pe care le-a publicat in 1939, in Conditions of Economic Growth unde a semnalat importanta diferenta dintre tarile bogate si cele sarace. Posterior s-a dedicat economiei dezvoltarii, reflectand rolul cresterii populatiei mai mult decat pe cel al cresterii datorate investitiilor.
