In their distinctive ways, each of this year’s prize winners reflects the objectives of the Kiel Institute Global Economy Prize. The Prize is meant to promote a creative voice heard in the frequently sterile public debate on the future of the global economy. It is neither the voice of ruthless, unconstrained market forces, nor the voice of indiscriminate government intervention. Instead, in honoring the outstanding accomplishments of our prize winners, the Kiel Institute seeks to highlight how incentive-based market activity can promote both economic efficiency and social equity.
