This academic prize, awarded by the Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics, is intended to promote and reward the best of young scholarship in philosophy and economics.
The prize is named in honour of Professor Mark Blaug (1927-2011), a founder of the field of philosophy and economics who made a tremendous scholarly contribution to many areas of the history and philosophy of economics [Read EJPE’s Special Issue on Mark Blaug’s work]. Mark Blaug’s generosity and commitment to Young Scholars was recognized by all who knew him.
The prize includes a cash sum of 500 Euros.
2018 Prize open for submissions
