Winner for 2024 Publication Year

The Robert Mundell Prize for best paper by a young researcher was awarded to Adam M. Lavecchia for his paper, “Family‐level responses to the introduction of Tax‐Free Savings Accounts”, published in the February 2024 issue.

Robert Mundell Prize

The Canadian Economics Association awards the Robert Mundell Prize to the "young" author or authors of the paper judged to be the best paper published in the Canadian Journal of Economics in the previous two calendar year. To be eligible all (co)authors must have obtained their PhDs no more than seven years prior to the date of paper acceptance. The prize, worth $2,000, was first awarded in 2004 for articles published in the years 2002 and 2003. The Prize is awarded at the annual meetings of the Canadian Economics Association and is selected by a committee of three appointed under the authority of the Board of Directors of the Association. The three members of the committee normally serve for three years each in overlapping terms.

The prize is named after Robert Mundell whose most influential work was published in the Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science between 1957 and 1963 when he was a "young" economist. In 1999, Robert Mundell received the Sveriges Riksbank (Bank of Sweden) Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.  The press release of this prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences follows:

"Robert Mundell has established the foundation for the theory which dominates practical policy considerations of monetary and fiscal policy in open economies. His work on monetary dynamics and optimum currency areas has inspired generations of researchers. Although dating back several decades, Mundell's contributions remain outstanding and constitute the core of teaching in international macroeconomics.
    "Mundell's research has had such a far-reaching and lasting impact because it combines formal—but still accessible—analysis, intuitive interpretation and results with immediate policy applications. Above all, Mundell chose his problems with uncommon—almost prophetic—accuracy in terms of predicting the future development of international monetary arrangements and capital markets. Mundell's contributions serve as a superb reminder of the significance of basic research. At a given point in time academic achievements might appear rather esoteric; not long afterwards, however, they may take on great practical importance."
