Economic History Prize
In 2015, the Yearbook for Economic History established an annual prize for economic history. A jury selects the best contribution published within the Yearbook for Economic History during a 12 month period.
The award takes the form of a €500 book voucher from the publishers Walter de Gruyter GmbH. The jury is made up of members of the editorial and advisory board.
Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Yearbook for Economic History and thus successfully gone through a double-blind review process, it is automatically submitted to the competition. An additional application is not necessary. Suitable manuscripts may be submitted to the Yearbook’s editorial staff.
