The Brattle Prize in Corporate Finance
The Brattle Prizes are awarded annually for outstanding academic papers in the field of corporate finance. They are chosen by the associate editors of The Journal of Finance from papers published in The Journal during the prior year. The Prizes are awarded by a member of The Brattle Group at the American Finance Association's annual meeting each January. They are funded through a grant from The Brattle Group in the amounts of $10,000 for first prize and $5,000 for distinguished papers.
Administration of The Brattle Prize is the responsibility of the editor of The Journal of Finance and is carried out in conjunction with the selection of The Smith-Breeden Prizes. The papers receiving the most votes for each award receive the prizes; however, a paper may not win both awards.
The Brattle Group supports this yearly award in an effort to recognize academic achievement in offering robust analysis and debate on compelling issues facing the corporate finance community.
For copies of these papers, please visit The Journal of Finance website.
