ECRI
May 21, 2009

(ECRI) - The Economic Cycle Research Institute announces the Geoffrey H. Moore Award for business cycle research to encourage original research into economic cycles in the tradition established by ECRI’s late founder, Dr. Geoffrey H. Moore.

The annual award consists of a $5,000 cash prize for the best research paper, which will be published as an ECRI Working Paper on our website.

Who can apply: Open to all except ECRI employees and research associates.

Paper guidelines: The paper must utilize as a central element ECRI’s international business cycle chronologies and/or growth rate cycle chronologies, which are posted here. However, use of ECRI’s proprietary index data (other than data publicly available on ECRI's resources page) is not permitted.

Interested researchers should submit an abstract (at most one page in length), along with their paper, in an MS Word file to the Moore Award Committee (e-mail to mooreaward@businesscycle.com) by September 8, 2009. The title page of the paper should contain the title of the paper, as well as the author(s)’ name(s), affiliation(s), and contact information. Papers should be written in the APA style.

Papers will be evaluated in terms of their contribution to business cycle research and their originality. The award winner will be announced on December 8, 2009. E-mail any questions to the Moore Award Committee (please do not call).
