EGC Affiliate Van Patten Wins award for trade research

EGC Affiliate Diana Van Patten, Assistant Professor at the Yale School of Management, is set to receive one of this year's four "Excellence Awards in Global Economic Affairs" from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy in Germany.  

The Kiel Institute writes that Van Patten was selected for her "outstanding research in International Trade and Development", and for how she has used historical long-term data to show that "foreign multinationals can be a catalyst for local economic development by providing missing local amenities".

The four winners of the Excellence Awards in Global Economic Affairs must be economists under the age of 37, and receive a research fellowship from the Kiel Institute, and the opportunity to present their research in Berlin during the Kiel-CEPR Conference on Geoeconomics. The other three 2024 award recipients are Adrien Bilal of Harvard, and Emil Verner, and Christian Wolf of MIT.
