CFP: 2014 Amartya Sen Prize Contest

The Yale Global Justice Program, Global Financial Integrity, and Academics
Stand Against Poverty invite submissions of *original essays of ca. 7,000
to 9,000 words* on how illicit financial flows relate to global poverty and
inequality. All prizes are named in honor of Amartya Sen, whose work has
shown how the rigor of economic thinking can be brought to bear on
normative and practical questions of great human significance.

The best entries will be presented at an international conference, *November
7-9, 2014*, at Yale University and subsequently published in a special
issue of a prominent journal. In addition, at least two of the winning
essays will receive a monetary award: a first prize of *$5,000* and a
second prize of *$3,000*. Professor Sen hopes to join us for the conference
presentations.

Entries can be e-mailed to Rachel Payne at [email protected] and
must reach her by *October 5, 2014*. We ask that entries be anonymized to
facilitate blind refereeing. Winners will be selected by an expert jury,
whose decisions are final.
