About the Mundell-Huangda Prize in Economics

The Mundell-Huangda Prize in Economics, formerly known as the 'Mundell-Huangda Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation', was established in December 2002. It was named after Prof. Robert A. Mundell, the father of the Euro and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1999, and Prof. Huang Da, the famous economist and former President of Renmin University of China. The award is awarded every two years, and has been awarded for ten times so far, with 35 young scholars wining the honor. In order to further expand the visibility and influence of the award, and to make the selection results more open, fair and transparent, the award was officially renamed as ' Mundell-Huangda Prize in Economics' in 2005.

The establishment of the Mundell-Huangda Prize in Economics is aimed at boosting the development of economics education in China and the prosperity of economic research; building an international exchange platform for doctoral training in Chinese economics, especially in the field of finance and economics; advocating open, inclusive, and rigorous academic atmosphere that brings together the wisdom of the East and the West; and inspiring more outstanding young scholars to contribute to the modernization and construction of China in the new era. By doing this, we encourage young scholars to contribute their wisdom and talents to the modernization of China in the new era.

To reach this end and demonstrate the seriousness, fairness and authority of the award, the 'Mundell-Huangda Prize in Economics' has established strict criteria and selection procedures. The topics of the participating papers are required to be connected to the frontier of the discipline and the papers must have important theoretical and practical significance. In order to ensure the authority of the award, many domestic authoritative experts were hired to form a special selection committee by the Center for the Study of Chinese Fiscal and Financial Policy Research.
