The Best Student Paper Competition is a highlight of each IAREP-SABE conference.

Elsevier, the publisher of the Journal of Economic Psychology and the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, sponsors the competition.

• The winner of the Elsevier/IAREP/SABE Best Student Paper Competition 2021 receives 1,000 Euro and a year’s electronic subscription to either the Journal of Economic Psychology or the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics.
• The second and third place will receive a year’s electronic subscription to either journal.
• The three winners will be honored at the conference, will receive a certificate, and will be listed in the associations’ newsletters.
