ODE Paper Competition

As an academic honor society, Omicron Delta Epsilon seeks to encourage excellence in economics. To that end, DePaul’s chapter of ODE is sponsoring a student paper competition with the top three papers receiving prizes of $500, $250, and $100. Any paper (of at least 5 pages) written for an economics class during the 20010-11 academic year is eligible for consideration.

To submit a paper, please fill out the submission form and deliver it along with a clean copy of the paper (no grades or comments) to the Economics Department (DPC 6200) by May 23rd, 2011. Papers may be submitted at any time up until the May deadline. Please remove your name from the paper and include your ID number instead. Winners will be contacted in advance and announced publicly at the end-of-the-year celebration in June.

Only one submission per student is allowed.
