The ESRB’s ASC awards an annual prize for outstanding research conducted by young academics on a topic related to the ESRB’s mission. The prize was introduced in honour of Ieke van den Burg, who was a member of the inaugural ASC from 2011 to 2014 and a member of the European Parliament from 1999 to 2009. Ms van den Burg firmly believed that finance should serve society and the prize is awarded in that spirit.
RESEARCH PAPER CRITERIA: Applicants must submit a completed paper on a topic related to the ESRB’s mission of preventing and mitigating systemic risks to financial stability. In particular, applications are invited from authors of papers covering at least one of the following topics:
– the role of macroprudential policy;
– regulatory issues in banking and finance;
– financial instability and the performance of the real economy;
– the origins of financial crises and identification of systemic risk;
– consumer protection in financial markets.
