About the Awards

The main purpose of the Young Economists' Essay Awards (YEEAs) is to encourage young researchers to participate in the EARIE Annual Conference.

The awards, bestowed annually, are meant for exceptionally innovative and high-level papers written by researchers who:

a) are under the age of 35, and
b) have completed their PhD less than 5 years ago.

For papers with multiple authors, each author should satisfy both the criteria (a) and (b).

Each year, one of the YEEAs is dedicated to the late Paul Geroski. This dedication is given to the paper that makes the most significant policy contribution. This year will be the 10th time that EARIE bestows this award in Paul Geroski’s memory.

If you fulfil the above criteria and you would like to submit your paper for the EARIE 2015 YEEAs, please indicate this in the corresponding checkbox on the EARIE 2015 paper submission form.

The EARIE 2015 YEEA Committee is composed of Luís Cabral (NYU Stern), Liran Einav (Stanford University), Patrick Rey (Toulouse School of Economics), Philipp Schmidt-Dengler (University of Vienna), Michelle Sovinsky (University of Mannheim), John Sutton (London School of Economics), Tommaso Valletti (Imperial and Università di Roma “Tor Vergata”), and Frank Verboven (University of Leuven).

The annual EARIE YEEAs are sponsored by Elsevier, for which EARIE is very grateful.
