In 1995, the History of Economics Society (HES) established an annual award for the Craufurd Goodwin Best Article in the History of Economics during the previous publication year (named after Craufurd Goodwin in 2017). Beside the honor, there is a stipend plus travel expenses to attend the presentation at the Society’s annual conference.
Eligibility: Any article in the history of economics published in English in the preceding year is eligible for the award. It is recognized however, that despite official publication dates, many publications are shipped after year end. In such cases, relevant articles that are in ‘proof’ form, with accompanying evidence of the journal and year of publication, may be accepted at the discretion of the Chair of the committee.
