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 2008 went to

Johannes Becker, University of Cologne, and Nadine Riedel, University of Munich, for their paper Corporate Taxation and Multinational Firms - Empirical Evidence on Welfare Implications

T. Scott Findley, University of New Mexico, and Frank N. Caliendo, Utah State University, for their paper Short Horizons, Time Inconsistency, and Optimal Social Security

Gabrielle Fack, Harvard University, Camille Landais, Paris School of Economics, for their paper Are Fiscal Incentives Towards Charitable Giving Efficient: Evidence from France
