European EIB Prize 2015

Il premio prevede due categorie di concorso:

2. Young Economist Prize, rivolta a ricercatori under 40.

___________________________

The topic for the 2015 EIB Prize is “Economics of Inequality and Economic Growth”. The Prize will be awarded for applied research conducted on the interaction of economic performance/growth and inequality. Research may focus on the effect of income and wealth inequality on GDP as well as broader concepts of well-being. Special consideration will be given to work comparing the European experience (including between EU member countries) with that of other large advanced economies.

Nominees for the EIB Prize must be researchers that have made substantial empirical contributions based on solid theoretical foundations in areas covered by the year’s topic. Both awards are open to all economists, with no distinction regarding nationality or place of work.

The Outstanding Contribution Award honours scholars for their lifetime scientific contribution of specific relevance to the prize’s topic, including academic excellence and publication record and impact on public policy or society at large.

The Young Economist Award honours scholars under the age of forty on 31 December 2015. It recognises influential research or a significant contribution to economic thought and knowledge that is of specific relevance to the prize’s topic and demonstrates great promise for the future.

I vincitori saranno selezionati da una giuria composta da accademici di alto livello, presieduta dal premio Nobel Christopher Pissarides.

Le candidature devono essere presentate entro il 18 maggio 2015.

Sono ammissibili solo candidature online.
