Prizes for Research into the History of Economic Thought

The History of Economic Thought Society of Australia is calling for applications for the award of the 2007 HETSA Prizes.  

There are three categories of prize:

• best PhD dissertation;
• best Masters thesis, where the degree was completed entirely by research; and
• best Masters/Honours thesis, where the degree was completed partly by thesis.

A prize of $300 will be awarded to the winner in each category, provided that the best entry is deemed to be of sufficiently high standard to merit an award.   Closing date for entries is April 1, 2007.

The prizes will be awarded to the candidates who, in the opinion of the judges, submitted the best thesis (or dissertation) in the filed of the history of economic thought at an Australian or New Zealand tertiary institution, in the relevant category.   Any submission for a prize should be made within two years of the candidate's receipt of the nominated degree. Candidates must submit their examiners' reports as evidence of their eligibility for the prize.   All submissions must contain two copies of the thesis, examiners' reports and a covering letter with full contact details of the applicant.   Entries will be judged by a prize committee appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia.   

Entries, consisting of two copies of the thesis, should be sent to
