Papers published in leading international refereed journals are of particular importance in academia and in 2021, there were again extremely interesting papers focusing on important socio-economic issues. Department head Rudolf Winter-Ebmer emphasized that "… these publication awards are presented in recognition of outstanding achievements in research. The papers also reflect the fact that members at the institute not only have access to an impressive international network, but they are also successful in addressing important economic and socio-political issues in a sound, methodological manner ranging from how to curb binge drinking among teens and taxing inheritances and international companies to the importance of gender when collaborating in research."
