The Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) has selected “The Health Impact of, and access to, New Drugs in Korea” authored by Frank R. Lichtenberg (Professor, Columbia University), as the first place award winner of the 20th EAER Best Paper Award. The award ceremony was held virtually on 14th December, 2021 via Webex at the conference room of KIEP.

The 20th Best Paper Selection Committee, composed of six members, applied four criteria of excellence for selection: academic contribution, research originality, logical clarity, and policy implications. Following careful deliberation throughout the selection process, the Committee selected Frank R. Lichtenberg’s paper for the first prize. Second prizes were awarded to “Does Inward Foreign Direct Investment Affect Productivity across Industries in Korea” by Yong Joon Jang (Kyung Hee University), and “The Motivating Role of Sentiment in ESG Performance: Evidence from Japanese Companies” by Ngoc Bao Vuong and Yoshihisa Suzuki.
