Finalist for the Young Economist Prize of the European Central Bank

Young economists can play an important role in shaping the future of Europe. Every year we recognise this through the Young Economist Prize, a research competition that offers talented students the chance to share their fresh perspectives on today’s challenges.

Finalists are invited to the annual ECB Forum on Central Banking, and the overall winner is awarded €10,000.

What will the finalists do at the Forum?

The selected finalists had the unique opportunity to attend the ECB Forum on Central Banking from 1 to 3 July 2024. Their research papers have been available on the ECB’s website and were shared with all Forum participants, including policymakers, top academics and market economists from around the world.

During the Forum, the finalists had the opportunity to attend a varied programme of panel discussions and expert talks.

Their papers were assessed by a jury of top academics and senior ECB staff, taking into account votes to be cast by Forum participants. Please see the prize rules and privacy statement for further details.
