My research on the impact of welfare on household debt has been well received.
In June, the paper was nominated as a finalist for the Nicola Negri prize of the Italian Association of Economic Sociology (SISEC).
Meanwhile, this week, my publication won the 2021 Egon Matzner Prize for Socioeconomics. Since 2012, the prize has been awarded by the Department of Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy of TU Wien with the goal to reward socio-economics studies that “include practical and empirical problems on strong theoretical foundations, go beyond schools of thought and paradigms, and/or present interdisciplinary perspectives”.
Doing a PhD is often a depressingly solitary endeavor, and it is certainly rewarding to see my work recognized as valuable.
