Call for Papers: ADB-IEA Innovative Policy Research Award 2025 ($7,000 grant) Deadline: 31 December, 2024
Applications are open for the ADB-IEA Innovative Policy Research Award 2025. The ADB-IEA Innovative Policy Research Award aims to promote the application of innovative empirical research in economics to support evidence-based policies in addressing key development challenges in Asia and the Pacific.
There is no restriction on topics or themes. ADB’s current operational priorities include (i) tackling climate change as the region is currently producing a half of the global greenhouse gas emission, (ii) addressing inequality due to digital divide following rapid digitalization in many countries in the region, (iii) enhancing regional cooperation to facilitate faster recovery of trade and investment in the region, and (iv) increasing fiscal and economic resilience post pandemic. Impact evaluations are particularly encouraged.
