IIPF Young Economists Award

The "IIPF Young Economists Award" was instituted in 2008, with the aim of encouraging young scholars who present their papers at the IIPF annual congress. A Prize Committee, headed by the Scientific Chair of the respective congress, selects those papers presented at the congress that stand out for their scientific quality, creativity and relevance, and chooses up to three of them to be distinguished with this award.

The same rules apply for this award as for the "Peggy and Richard Musgrave Prize", namely that authors must be under 40 years old, that in the case of co-authored papers, all authors need to be under 40, and that age is measured as at the ending day of the Congress, when the prize is awarded. Authors who wish to be considered for this award should indicate this when submitting their papers for presentation at the Congress.

The three "IIPF Young Economists Awards" of the year 2009 went to

Ronald Davies, University College Dublin, and Johannes Voget, Oxford University, for their paper Tax Competition in an Expanding European Union

José Carlos Assi Kimou, University of Cocody-Abidjan, for his paper Economic Conditions, Enforcement and Criminal Activities in the District of Abidjan

Martial Foucault, Université de Montreal, Emilie Caldeira, Université d'Auvergne, and Grégoire Rota-Graziosi, Université d'Auvergne, for their paper Public Spending Interactions among Beninese Municipalities
