Selected finalists present their papers at CERGE-EI, Prague, in the second round. The topic of the paper can be in any sub-field of Economics, broadly defined. Papers will be judged based on originality, substance, analytical nature, and clarity of writing.

Prize for the winner consists of $1,000 USD, a trip to one of the next Global Development Network conferences to present the winning paper, and VIP tickets to CERGE-EI’s special events, such as the Distinguished Speaker Series and the Graduation Gala.
