We’re delighted to share that Alice Fabre, AMSE researcher, and her co-authors have received the 2026 Hicks-Tinbergen Award.
Their paper, "The Academic Market and the Rise of Universities in Medieval and Early Modern Europe" (Journal of the European Economic Association, Vol. 22, Issue 4), has been recognized for its outstanding contribution.
👏 Congratulations to Alice Fabre, David de la Croix, Frederic Docquier, and Robert Stelter!
In 1991, the EEA created a medal to be awarded once every two years (even years) to the author(s) of an outstanding article published in the Association’s Journal during the two preceding years. It is named Hicks-Tinbergen to make it clear that the EEA stands for both theoretical and empirical work in economics in Europe.
