We are pleased to invite submissions to the Bank of Canada Graduate Student Paper Award (GSPA). This award is intended to recognize promising graduate students in Economics or Finance. A one-day workshop will be hosted at the Bank of Canada headquarters in Ottawa on November 6th, 2024, for short-listed finalists to present their work to Bank researchers and policymakers. The winners of the award will be announced by the end of the day.
This year, the short-listed finalists will also have the opportunity to attend the Bank of Canada Annual Conference on November 7-8 and engage with Bank researchers and external participants and discuss their work with them. We invite PhD students, particularly those on the job market, to submit their work to the GSPA workshop and benefit from the exposure and feedback offered by a diverse audience. Past winners and runner-ups have been placed (or will start their work) in universities such as Harvard Business School, HKU Business School, University of Chicago, and University of Toronto.
We invite both theoretical and empirical papers in all fields of economics and finance. We especially welcome papers in macroeconomics, corporate finance, asset pricing, monetary economics, industrial organization, international trade, growth, labor economics, digital currencies and fintech, and applied econometrics. Papers on other topics may be considered.
