Antonio di Paolo receives the Lluís Fina Prize.
The Spanish Association of Labour Economics (AEET) has awarded the Lluís Fina Prize to the UB School of Economics researcher Antonio Di Paolo during the 13th Labour Economics Meeting. On the other hand, the PhD student in Economics at the UB School of Economics Tania Fernández Navia was awarded one of the Luis Toharia Grants at the same meeting, which took place on June 12th-14th 2019 in Islantilla, Huelva.
The aim of the Lluís Fina Prize is to recognise both theoretical and applied research excellence in the field of labour economics, including articles published in academic journals and book chapters. This year’s award-winning paper was selected by a committee of three independent and leading labor economists appointed by the Governing Board of the AEET. The members of the Prize Committee were Raquel Carrasco (Universidad Carlos III), Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Laura Hospido (Banco de España).
