Award Details
The John Rae Prize is awarded every second year to the Canadian economist with the best research record during the last five years. The Prize is intended to recognize research excellence in the recent past and is not a life-time award. The award has been named after John Rae, born in Scotland in 1796, who did most of his work in Canada and was a genuine precursor of endogenous growth theory. The award comes with a cash prize of $5,000.
Nominees must be members of the association. Nominations are open to all members but in practice the majority of nominations come from the Chairs of the Economics Departments in Canada.
Next deadline (anticipated): March 2024
