Reinhard Selten Award 2024
This year's winner is Lukas Hack for his paper ‘Progressive Income Taxation and Inflation: The Macroeconomic Effects of Bracket Creep’. Congratulations!
Every year at its Annual Conference, the Verein für Socialpolitik awards the Reinhard Selten Prize (Young Author Best Paper Award), endowed with 3,000 euros, for papers that are characterised in particular by originality, the significance of the research question and sound methodology. Congratulations to Lukas Hack and thanks to Almut Balleer and the Programme Commission 2024.
The prize is named after Reinhard Selten, winner of the Prize for Economic Sciences donated by the Swedish Riksbank in memory of Alfred Nobel for his work in the field of game theory. In particular, he developed the concept of the partially perfect game and the trembling-hand perfect equilibrium.
The prize is awarded to authors of the open part of the annual conference; it can also be awarded to several authors.
