Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) is proud to announce that the Carine Nourry 2025 Thesis Prize has been awarded to Antoine Ferey (Sciences Po Paris) for his paper entitled ‘Sufficient Statistics for Nonlinear Tax Systems with General Across-Income Heterogeneity’, published in the American Economic Review (2024, vol. 114, no. 10, pp. 3206-3249), co-authored with Benjamin B. Lockwood and Dmitry Taubinsky.
The award ceremony was held on Monday, May 26, in the presence of Alain Venditti, Director of AMSE, and Thomas Seegmuller, Deputy Director. The laureate received a €3,000 prize, awarded by a jury composed of researchers from Aix-Marseille University, CNRS, and other French academic institutions.
Created in memory of Carine Nourry, professor at Aix-Marseille University and the first director of the AMSE graduate School, who passed away on June 7, 2019, this prize aims to recognize excellence in economic research. It honors a PhD who defended his/her thesis less than eight years ago and currently holds a position in a French-speaking university, for the scientific quality of his/her best research article, published or accepted in a peer-reviewed journal.
The Carine Nourry Thesis Prize is intended to be awarded annually, reaffirming AMSE's commitment to promoting high-level research in the field of economics.
