Dr. Jan Hogrefe, researcher with ZEW's Research Group "Growth and Business Cycles", has been awarded the "2013 Research Award Social Market Economy" (Forschungspreis Soziale Marktwirtschaft 2013) sponsored by the Bavarian Industry Association (Vereinigung der Bayerischen Wirtschaft - vbw). The award-winning work explores the structure and effects of international trade and addresses the institutional and social policy challenges for the German labour market. The research award is bestowed annually by vbw’s market economy committee and honours up-and-coming researchers who focus on the sustainable development of the social market economy in their doctoral or habilitation thesis.
