JSM Best Student Paper Award

The Business and Economic Statistics Section (B&E) of the American Statistical Association (ASA) will offer up to four student paper awards for B&E student members in doctoral programs in business, economics, econometrics, statistics, or allied disciplines. The section encourages submissions on novel methods, theories, and applications from all areas of business and economic statistics. Support is offered for students to participate in the 2023 Joint Statistical Meetings, to be held in Toronto, Canada from August 5 – August 10, 2023.

Student paper award applications must include this form (JSM_2023_B_E_Best_Student_Paper_Awards.pdf) and the additional materials listed below. The ASA has some further requirements on applications for student awards to any ASA section – please read these at:

Note: Students may submit papers to no more than two sections and may accept only one section's award. Students must inform both sections applied to when he or she wins and accepts an award, thereby removing the student from the award competition for the second section.
