Variant Perception Nominated for the Wolfson Economics Prize
April 3rd, 2012
The Wolfson Economics Prize, which challenges the world’s brightest economists to prepare a contingency plan for a break-up of the Eurozone, today (3rd April, 2012) unveiled a shortlist of five finalists.
The shortlisted entries, though all very different from each other, provide valuable ideas about how best to manage a member state leaving the euro.
The judges have given the finalists the opportunity to address key questions about their entry. Finalists will be given until the 29th of May to develop and resubmit their entries. Everyone who has progressed to this stage will be guaranteed a £10,000 share of the prize. The winner(s) of the Wolfson Economics Prize will be announced on the 5th of July.
Derek Scott, Chairman of the judges, said:-
“The question of currency break-up is clearly enormously complex, spanning financial and legal arrangements. We were impressed by a number of the entrants’ efforts to grapple with these issues. We felt it was only fair to give finalists the opportunity to refine their thoughts. “
Lord Simon Wolfson said:-
“Sadly, the risk of a country leaving the Eurozone has not gone away. The ideas contained in these entries are an invaluable contribution to tackling this important issue. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who made a submission and look forward to awarding the prize this summer.”
