The Zellner Thesis Award in Business and
Economic Statistics
2011 Zellner Award Competition
Awards Committee
The Business and Economic Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association announces the competition for the
2011 Zellner Thesis Award. The award is named for Arnold
Zellner, a pioneer in econometrics, past Chair of the Business
and Economic Statistics Section, past President of the American Statistical Association, and founding editor of the Journal
of Business & Economic Statistics. He sadly passed away on
August 10, 2010.
The award is for the best Ph.D. thesis dealing with an applied
problem in Business and Economic Statistics. It is intended to
recognize outstanding work by promising young researchers in
the field. The winner of the award, which consists of a $1,500
cash prize, is announced at the Annual ASA Meeting in August.
A portion of the winning thesis is eligible for publication in
JBES.
The editors of JBES convene the Awards Committee in consultation with the current Chair of the Business and Economic
Statistics Section to form the Awards Committee from the Section Membership and Editorial Board of JBES.
Topics
The range of topics is broad and includes, among others,
econometric methods, statistical problems in forecasting, seasonal adjustment, data quality, empirical studies including finance, industrial organization, health, labor, general micro and
macroeconomic analysis, as well as policy evaluations. Theses
in the areas of computation, simulation, and graphics are eligible as long as the research is of direct interest to applied workers.
Sponsors
The sponsors for the 2011 Zellner award are the Business and
Economic Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association under the auspices of the Journal of Business & Economic
Statistics, and Thomson Reuters. We are extremely grateful for
Thomson Reuters’ generous support of the 2011 prize.
Criteria
Review standards place substantial weight on research with
significant results, high quality methodological work, substantial empirical content, and good exposition.
The research should be of immediate and practical value for
applications in business and economic statistics.
Deadline: March 31, 2011
Submission Procedure
Entrants must supply a web URL from which a PDF copy of
the thesis can be downloaded. After posting your thesis, send
an email with your name and contact information, the date and
institution of your defended thesis, and the URL, to the Zellner
