Bernhard Harms Prize

The Bernhard Harms Prize — named after the founder of the Kiel Institute — is awarded every two years. The prize in particular honors scholars with a distinguished record in the field of international economics. The prize includes a cash award of 25,000 Euro which is contributed by the Society for the Promotion of the Kiel Institute. The prize was awarded for the first time in 1964 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Institute. The Bernhard Harms Lectures, which are given by the prize-winners at the award ceremony are now regularly published in the Institute’s international journal "Review of World Economics / Weltwirtschaftliches Archiv".
