Calvó-Armengol International Prize
The Calvó-Armengol International Prize is awarded every two years by the Barcelona School of Economics in cooperation with the Government of Andorra to "a top researcher in economics or the social sciences younger than 40 years old for his or her contribution to the theory and comprehension of the mechanisms of social interaction."[1]
The prize was set up to honor the memory of Barcelona School of Economics Affiliated Professor and ICREA-UAB Professor Antoni Calvó-Armengol, a highly esteemed researcher from Andorra who died unexpectedly in November 2007 at the age of 37.[2] The prize ceremony takes place in Andorra, and an associated "Calvó-Armengol Lecture" is delivered by the recipient in Barcelona. The prize includes a cash award of 30,000 euros.
