The H.W. Arndt Prize

In the April 1999 issue the Indonesia Project announced the introduction of a special prize intended to encourage Indonesian scholars to publish their work in the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies.

The competition is open to all Indonesian citizens who are not members of the Editorial Board or International Advisory Board of BIES, and is adjudicated by a panel appointed by the Editor.

Winners are invited to visit the Indonesia Project for a period of four weeks, during which time they have the opportunity to further their research and to present at least one seminar in the Economics Division of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS) at The Australian National University. The prize includes a round trip economy air fare between Jakarta and Canberra, plus a living allowance for the duration of the visit.

Articles with joint authorship by more than one Indonesian citizen are eligible for consideration, but the prize will be awarded to only one of the authors. In such cases, the authors will need to nominate one person as the potential recipient of the prize, prior to the adjudication process.

The regular Survey of Recent Developments, and articles with a non-Indonesian citizen as a joint author, are not eligible for award of the H.W. Arndt Prize. The Indonesia Project retains the right not to award the prize in any year if no entry is considered by the adjudication panel to be of sufficiently high quality.
