The award is for the best Ph.D. thesis dealing with an applied problem in Business and Economic Statistics. It is in-tended to recognize outstanding work by promising young re-searchers in the field. The winner of the award, which consists of a $1,500 cash prize, is announced at the Annual ASA Meet-ing in August. A portion of the winnMeet-ing thesis is eligible for publication inJBES.
Topics
The range of topics is broad and includes, among others, econometric methods, statistical problems in forecasting, sea-sonal adjustment, data quality, empirical studies including fi-nance, IO, health, labor, general micro and macroeconomic analysis, as well as policy evaluations. Theses in the areas of computation, simulation, and graphics are eligible as long as the research is of direct interest to applied workers.
Sponsor
The sponsor is the Business and Economic Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association under the auspices of theJournal of Business & Economic Statistics.
Criteria
Review standards place substantial weight on research with significant results, high quality methodological work, substan-tial empirical content, and good exposition.
The research should be of immediate and practical value for applications in business and economic statistics.
Deadline: March 31, 2010
