Call for Submissions: Schmölders Award

The standing field committee of Public Finance of the Verein für Socialpolitik will award the prize of the Schmölders Foundation in 2023.

The prize is endowed with € 3,000 and awarded annually in turn by the standing field committees Social Policy, Social Sciences, and Public Finance. The prize honours original work of high scientific standard which analyses economic behaviour related to public economics. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome. Contributions written by members of the Verein für Socialpolitik are eligible. Articles which are already published are considered if the publication dates back at most three years.

A selection panel consisting of the Chair of the Public Finance committee, three committee members, and (with advisory voice) the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Schmölders Foundation decides on the award. The composition of the panel reflects gender balance and the variety of scientific approaches in public economics.

Winners are invited to the annual meeting of the standing field committee Public Finance (26 to 28 April 2023 in Würzburg) and present their work there. Winners are announced at the annual meeting of the Verein für Socialpolitik.

Please send your submission in pdf-format by 15 January 2023 to the chair of the standing field committee Public Finance Prof. Dr. Robert Schwager (fiwiausschuss@uni-goettingen.de).
