SMP Essay Contest

Publicado en por

The Sound Money Project Essay Contest is designed to promote scholarship in monetary and macro- economics. More specifically, it aims to encourage those working at the cutting edge of the discipline to consider the monetary institutions that would reduce nominal disturbances and promote economic growth.

Prompt:
In 1971, President Richard Nixon ended convertibility, thereby eliminating the last vestiges of the gold standard. The classical gold standard, which prevailed from 1873 to 1914, had anchored inflation expectations, enabled longterm contracting, and promoted international trade. This historical experience has prompted several reconsiderations of resumption over the years, including the Gold Commission in 1980, the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission of 1998, and, more recently, calls for a Centennial Monetary Commission. What are the merits of returning to the gold standard? Is such a system feasible today?

Prizes:
First Prize $10,000
Second Prize $2,000
Third Prize $1,000

Winners will also be invited to participate in the Sound Money Project annual meeting in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

Eligibility:
The contest is open to graduate students, post-graduates, untenured professors, and tenured professors from any discipline. Former winners and current AIER fellows are ineligible. Former entrants are eligible, but must submit new essays.

Rules:
Essays must be the sole and original work of the entrant and not previously published. They should be in the format of a scholarly article. Any standard citation format (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago, Harvard, etc.) is acceptable. Essays may either be written specifically for the contest or arise from previous work (e.g., term papers, dissertations, research projects, etc.). Essays shorter than 4,000 words or longer than 12,000 words will not be considered. AIER-affiliated scholars are ineligible.

Submission Instructions:
Please submit your paper here.

Deadline: March 1, 2019

The Mont Pelerin Society is increasing its efforts to involve younger members in the society and to recruit new young guests who have the potential to become members in the future.

Plenary topics include: monetary policy, immigration, the optimal size of government, policing, foreign policy, welfare policy, regulating sexual behavior and discrimination, and religion. Scholarly papers addressing these topics are especially encouraged to apply.

Plenary topics include: monetary policy, immigration, the optimal size of government, policing, foreign policy, welfare policy, regulating sexual behavior and discrimination, and religion. Scholarly papers addressing these topics are especially encouraged to apply.

These sessions will run during the concurrent sessions and will feature short presentations (~ 12-15 minutes) by three to four young scholars in each session. The proposals should be NEW research of the style that one would present at professional association meeting in the appropriate discipline.

Proposal will be evaluated on the importance of the topic proposed, how it is addressed, how it fits within the meeting theme and plenary program, and how it fits with other papers proposed by young scholars. Unfortunately, program space scarcity makes it likely that many proposals of merit will not be able to be placed on the program.

To propose a paper please send:

  • A title and proposed abstract of no more than 250 words
  • CV
  • Any requested travel financial support

To mps.youngscholars@ttu.edu no later than November 1st. Successful applicants will be notified by December 1st and will be expected to register for the conference. Completed papers will be due by April 15th.
