The Georgescu-Roegen Prize

The Georgescu-Roegen Prize is awarded each year by the Southern Economic Association for the best academic article published in the Southern Economic Journal. The prize consists of an engraved plaque and a monetary award, the amount of which is determined by a set portion of the earnings on the Georgescu-Roegen endowment. Recipients of the prize are chosen by a selection committee consisting of the Editor of the Southern Economic Journal, and two Vice Presidents of the Southern Economic Association.

The selection committee awarded two Georgescu-Roegen Prizes in 2008. The winners are:

• Brett Katzman (Kennesaw State University)
• Kerry Anne McGeary (Drexel University)

• Brian Duncan (University of Colorado at Denver)
• Laura Argys (University of Colorado at Denver)
