The BCRA invites students, young professionals, and PhD economists to participate in the “Dr. Raúl Prebisch” Economic Research Annual Award, which is given in honor of one of the most outstanding economists in Argentine history and seeks to encourage research on monetary, macroeconomic, financial and banking issues.
Dr. Raúl Prebisch was one of the leading figures to promote the bill that made possible the creation of the BCRA in 1935 and was the first General Manager until 1943. He was a pioneer of the Latin American structuralist thought within the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). By the end of the 1940s, he created a number of economic categories which are still essential to understand the challenges that our economies face today.
According to the schedule of the Terms and Conditions (in spanish)of the current edition, the BCRA will post the date and awarding method between September and October 2022.
For enquiries about the Award, send an email to premio.invest@bcra.gob.ar or call (011) 4348-3582.
