Nakahara Prize

The Nakahara Prize is an award from the Japanese Economic Association. It is given every year since 1995. The prize is for Japanese economists younger than 45 years old. They get the prize because their work has become well-known internationally. The prize is named after its sponsor Nobuyuki Nakahara. The purpose of the prize is to encourage young economists to publish excellent papers and books internationally. In 2016, Sagiri Kitao was the first woman to win the prize.
