JAMIE MORGENSTERN AND GABRIEL CARROLL RECEIVE THE ELEVENTH SOCIAL CHOICE AND WELFARE PRIZE

"A jury composed of Pietro Ortovela (Princeton University), Ariel Procaccia (Harvard University), Szilvia Papai (Concordia Universtiy), Arunava Sen (President of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare) and Marc Fleurbaey (Chair, President-elect of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare) has chosen to award the eleventh Social Choice and Welfare Prize jointly to Gabriel Carroll (University of Toronto) and Jamie Morgenstern (University of Washington).

"The purpose of the Social Choice and Welfare Prize is to honour young scholars of excellent accomplishment in the area of social choice theory and welfare economics. The laureate should be 40 years or less as of January of the year when the International Meeting of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare is scheduled to take place. During this meeting, the prize winner(s) will give a plenary lecture. For more information about the prize, please click here.

"The SCW prize medal "La Pensée" ("The Thought") is due to Raymond Delamarre (1890-1986), a rather well-known French sculptor associated with what has been called "Art Deco" (Chrysler Building and Empire State Building in New York, the architects Mallet-Stevens or Le Corbusier in France). He is in particular famous for his work at the entrance of the Suez Canal. A web site: www.atelier-raymond-delamarre.fr.
