Congratulations to the 2022 Senior Essay Prize Nominees and Winners!
Each year, 30-50 students write a senior essay in economics. This year, these essays spanned topics across all fields of economics, including unemployment benefits, auction design, international climate agreements, child labor, and college admission policies. The top essays are nominated for prizes by the student’s advisor and a second reader from the department. A committee of Economics faculty members read and select the winning essays, and the prizes are awarded on commencement day during the students’ respective college ceremonies.
The prizes are as follows:
- The Charles Heber Dickerman Memorial Prize: the best departmental essay(s).
- The Ronald Meltzer/Cornelia Awdziewicz Economic Award: runner-up(s) for the Dickerman Prize.
- The Ellington Prize: the best departmental essay in the field of finance.
This year, nine senior essays were nominated: Michael Barresi, Kueho Choi, Jack Hirsch, Kamila Janmohamed, Jack Kelly, Aiden Lee, Salma Shaheen, Siddarth Shankar, and Brian Zhu.
The Dickerman Prize for the Best Senior Essay goes this year to two recipients: Kamila Janmohamed (“Estimating Policy Effects with Staggered Implementation and Multiple Periods: Another Look at Family Caps”) and Jack Hirsch (“Optimal Auction Mechanisms in the Presence of Regret”). The Meltzer/Awdziewicz Prize goes to Michael Barresi (“Unilateral Carbon Policies and Multilateral Coalitions: An Analysis of Coalition Stability under the Optimal Unilateral Policy”). The Ellington Prize for the best essay in finance goes to Brian Zhu (“Regime-Switching Factor Models with Applications Portfolio Selection and Demand Estimation”).
Yale College also awarded the Wrexham Prize for the best senior essay in the Social Sciences to Kamila Janmohamed for her above-mentioned essay.
The essays for all the nominees and winners are posted below:
Michael Barresi: “ Unilateral Carbon Policies and Multilateral Coalitions: An Analysis of Coalition Stability under the Optimal Unilateral Policy ” (Advisor: Samuel Kortum)
This essay derives a theoretically optimal unilateral carbon tax for a multi-country world and quantifies the performance of that tax in light of the free-rider problem by calibrating the theoretical solution to real world data.
Kueho Choi: “ Unemployment Insurance and Job Quality: Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic ” (Advisor: Giuseppe Moscarini)
This essay explores the effect of unemployment insurance (UI) on the quality (rather than quantity) of employment, focusing on the broad-based policies enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using micro data from the Current Population Survey and a new dataset with more precise estimates of UI receipt, the paper finds that the pandemic-era UI supplements had no significant effect on reemployment job quality.
Jack Hirsch: “ Optimal Auction Mechanisms in the Presence of Regret ” (Advisor: Dirk Bergemann)
This paper considers an auction model that incorporates a penalty for regret into bidder utility functions to study how bidders change their bidding strategy, and how those changes affect the seller’s revenue. The essay classifies the full family of mechanisms that maximize seller revenue and characterize the effects of regret on optimal bidding behavior and seller revenue of several commonly employed auctions.
Kamila Janmohamed: “ Estimating Policy Effects With Staggered Implementation and Multiple Periods: Another Look at Family Caps ” (Advisor: Cormac O’Dea)
This paper applies recent advances in the differences-in-differences literature to evaluate the effects of family caps: a set of policies that freeze US welfare recipients’ benefits at a level based on the size of their family when they began receiving welfare. By exploiting variation in the timing and stringency of their implementation, Kamila finds that family caps have failed to achieve their stated aims and may be counterproductive.
Jack Kelly: “ Who Benefits From Multiple Choice(s)?: The Equilibrium Impacts of Test-Optional College Admissions ” (Advisor: Jason Abaluck)
This paper examines increasingly prevalent “test-optional” college admissions policies, whereby students need not send their SAT or ACT scores to gain admission. Jack developed a method to estimate the causal impact of switching to test-optionality on the composition of admitted students, and applies this method to a proprietary data set from a test-optional college.
Aiden Lee: “ The Motherhood Penalty: Assessing the Labor Market Effects of Childcare Closures During the COVID-19 ” (Advisor: Fabrizio Zilibotti)
This project measured the effect of childcare center closures on individuals’ labor market decisions, for instance, their likelihood to reduce hours or leave the labor force altogether. It also examined how government aid affected a childcare center’s likelihood of permanent closure during the pandemic.
Salma Shaheen: “ The Impact of Violent Political Conflict on Child Labor: Evidence from the Palestinian Territories ” (Advisor: Ceren Baysan)
This paper uses locality-level panel data from the Palestinian Labor Force Survey (PLFS) to study the effect of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on child labor among ten to fourteen-year-old individuals in the West Bank between 1999 and 2016. The analysis combines data on conflict-related violence (e.g. fatalities and prisoners) and conflict-infrastructure (e.g. checkpoints and the separation wall) to construct various accurate measures of an individual’s exposure to conflict intensity. Exploiting the temporal and geographical variation in these measures, Salma shows that multiple aspects of conflict affect child labor in different directions and with different magnitudes.
Siddarth Shankar: “ Cities in the Information Age Are Information-Intensive Firms Contributing to Urban Inequality? ” (Advisor: Sun Kyoung Lee)
This paper analyzes the effect of information-intensive job growth on wages, amenities, and housing costs for high- and low- skilled workers in metropolitan statistical areas across the United States.
Brian Zhu: “ Regime-switching factor models with applications to portfolio selection and demand estimation ” (Advisor: Xiaohong Chen)
Regime-switching factor models (RSFMs) are useful in capturing the cyclical nature of returns in certain asset classes. In this essay, Brian presents closed-form update rules for expectation-maximization algorithms used to estimate RSFMs, and shows how their regime-switching framework has applications in portfolio selection and demand estimation.
In addition to essays, The Department of Economics awarded two additional prizes to graduating seniors majoring in economics: the Laun Prize for an outstanding course record in all courses taken at Yale College goes to Daniel Yen and the Massee Prize for an outstanding record in economics courses goes to Jack Kelly .
Congratulations to all of these seniors for their exceptional accomplishments!

- David McCullough Essay Prizes
The Gilder Lehrman Institute is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 David McCullough Essay Prizes. Named for David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning historian and member of the Gilder Lehrman Institute Board of Trustees, and honoring his career telling America’s stories and examining its histories, this contest recognizes outstanding high school student research essays with cash prizes of up to $10,000.
Students currently in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade in our National Academy of American History and Civics are eligible and encouraged to participate. They are invited to submit an original essay, written independently or for a 2021–2022 class, that has been revised, expanded, and adapted to conform with the McCullough Prize specifications.
All participants will receive a certificate of participation suitable for framing. Prize winners will receive cash awards, as follows:
- 1st Prize: $10,000 (plus a $500 prize awarded to the school)
- 2nd Prize: $5,000 (plus a $500 prize awarded to the school)
- Nine 3rd Prizes: $1,000 each
To be considered for the David McCullough Essay Prizes, students or their teachers or parents can submit their entry by 8:00 p.m. ET on Monday, June 6, 2022 . The entries will be reviewed by a panel of Gilder Lehrman master teachers who will choose the pool of finalists, from which the winners will be chosen by a jury of eminent historians. Essays will be evaluated for their historical rigor, the clarity and correctness of their style, their use of evidence, and their qualities of empathy and imagination. Winners will be announced and notified no later than July 2022.
Submissions for this year’s contest are now closed.
ESSAY REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES
- Word Count: Essay should be approximately 1,500–2,500 words. (Note that this word count does not include footnotes, endnotes, or citations.) Essays will be judged on quality of argument and depth of research, so a longer essay is not necessarily a better one!
- Font and Page Style: Papers should be written and submitted in Times New Roman, 12 point font with margins of one inch at the top, bottom, and sides. Essays should be free of teacher commentary or other marginalia—such changes should be integrated into the text.
- Primary Sources: Essays must focus on a primary source document in American history from the years 1600–2000 with a copy of that document attached as an appendix. Top essays will focus on this and other primary source documents (letters, photographs, broadsides, etc.) as the basis for affirming their theses.
- Secondary Sources: Top essays will use scholarly secondary sources beyond the textbook. Textbooks can be referenced only for general background information.
- Organization: Top essays have an introduction, body, and conclusion, and a clearly stated, well-developed thesis statement with supportive historical evidence.
- Essay Topics: Essays can be on any topic related to American history from the 1600s to 2000.
- Citations: The best essays have clear, complete, and consistent citations. Students must document their sources and evidence, using any one of the following three formats: MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style (of the three, Chicago is preferred but not required). Regarding internet sources, please make sure that there is information beyond URLs in their citations, such as the author and title of the source.
- Bibliography: Each essay is required to include a bibliography listing all sources, dividing the bibliography between primary and secondary sources.
