The award is for the best Ph.D. thesis dealing with an applied problem in Business and Economic Statistics. It is intended to recognize outstanding work by promising young researchers in the field. The winner of the award, which con-sists of a $1,000 cash prize, is announced at the Annual ASA Meeting in August. A portion of the winning thesis is eligible for publication in theJBES.
Topics
The range of topics is quite broad and includes, among oth-ers, applied problems in forecasting, seasonal adjustment, data quality, empirical finance, policy evaluation, and empirical eco-nomics. Theses in the areas of computation, simulation and graphics are eligible as long as the research is of direct inter-est to applied workers.
Sponsor
The sponsor is the Business and Economic Statistics Sec-tion of the American Statistical AssociaSec-tion under the auspices ofJBES. The 2005 Section Chair is Thomas S. Shively of the University of Texas at Austin. The editor ofJBESis Torben G. Andersen of Northwestern University.
