Jacob Mincer Prize
The Jacob Mincer Award ("Jacob Mincer Award") is an award given annually by the Society of Labor Economists . The prize is intended to honor outstanding researchers for their life's work in the field of labor economics . It is named after Jacob Mincer , who is considered one of the fathers of modern empirical labor economics.
In October 2003, the members of the Society of Labor Economists decided to award the prize; the first award went to Jacob Mincer and Gary Becker . Initially awarded annually, the regulations were revised in 2009 and the prize was then awarded every two years. In 2017, the association decided to revert to the annual cycle, subject to a suitable candidate.
