STIGLITZ ESSAY PRIZE
The
International Economic Association (IEA) is happy to announce the first
Stiglitz Essay Prize (SEP) in honour of the past President of the
association, Joseph E. Stiglitz. This prize is possible thanks to the generous
donation that the Economic Society of Australia
pledged to the IEA.
Joseph
E. Stiglitz is University Professor at Columbia University. In 2001, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his analyses of
markets with asymmetric information. He was the President of the International Economic
Association from 2011 to 2014.
The
winner of the Stiglitz Essay Prize will be announced in early 2016, with the
prize presentation to be made in a ceremony at the next IEA World
Congress in 2017. The winner of the Stiglitz Essay Prize will win 1,000 USD, and
the runner(s)-up will receive 500 USD. The winning essay and runner(s) up will
be published on the IEA web site.
The
prize is open to any student in full time study. The essay can be up to 5,000
words on one of the subjects below. There will be a pre-selection
process in charge of a team of school judges selected by the IEA. The short-listed
essays will go to the judges: Joseph E. Stiglitz (Columbia University and IEA
past President), Timothy Besley (London School of Economics and IEA President)
and Kaushik Basu (World Bank and IEA President Elect).
To be eligible for the prize,
submitted essays should be on one of two broad themes reflecting Professor
Stiglitz’s interests:
- The causes and policy consequences
of growing inequality
-
The reconstruction of macro-economics and proposals for new approaches that
speak to the weaknesses in modelling
revealed by the 2008 global crisis
All applicants are asked to
note the following criteria:
- Only one essay per person will be
accepted
- The maximum word count for essays is 5,000 words (the
word count should appear at the end of each essay)
-
The word count includes footnotes, but excludes references and bibliography.
-
All of those who submit an essay should submit proof through a signed letter
from an appropriate official at an academic
institution that he or she is currently registered as a full-time student.
- No revisions to entries are
permitted once submitted
- Please note that entries to the
competition should be unique (i.e. not published elsewhere or submitted to other
essay competitions.)

The deadline for submitting
essays is Tuesday 1 September 2015 at 2359 hours (GMT).
