Remarks from the Award Committee:

The author of this paper studies the livability of different groups of people (rural labor force and urban labor force) in cities of different sizes through model construction, parameter calibration and data simulation, as well as the economic impact of urbanization process in these cities, including the impact on GDP, wage level and welfare of different groups. There are some interesting findings in this paper. For example, the livability of rural labor force is the highest in cities with a population of 1-3 million. The citizenization of migrant workers in cities with a population of less than 3 million will not have a positive effect on GDP and wages, and may even reduce the welfare of urban labor force. If these findings can be further confirmed, they will have a good reference value for urban planning.

Introduction to the China Economic Quarterly Dr. Werner Jackstädt Best Paper Award for Chinese Economic and Business Studies

 

In order to encourage high-quality economic research, China Economic Quarterly set up the Annual Best Paper Award since its inception. Each year one paper is selected as the best paper from the volume published in that year. Starting in 2010, the award is renamed as Dr. Werner Jackstädt Best Paper Award for Chinese Economic and Business Studies, and from 2014 the prize is set to RMB 40,000 yuan.

The winner is decided by majority votes on the nominated papers from the award committee, which is comprised of the 8 editorial board members of China Economic Quarterly 。

This award is financially sponsored by the Dr. Jackstädt Foundation and supported by The East West Centre for Business Studies and Cultural Science at Frankfurt School.

Dr. Jackstädt was an entrepreneur who had made outstanding contribution to the post-war German economic miracle. The mission of the Dr. Jackstädt Foundation is to support the research in the field of medicine and management science, and to help the development of Wuppertal, Dr. Jackstädt’s hometown (which is also the hometown of Engels).
