The Georgescu-Roegen Prize

 

The Georgescu-Roegen Prize is awarded each year by the Southern Economic Association for the best academic article published in the Southern Economic Journal. The prize consists of an engraved plaque and a monetary award, the amount of which is determined by a set portion of the earnings on the Georgescu-Roegen endowment. Recipients of the prize are chosen by a selection committee consisting of the Editor of the Southern Economic Journal, and two Vice Presidents of the Southern Economic Association.
