The 2009 winner of the Carlo Giannini Prize is:

Giovanni Mastrobuoni and Alessandro Barbarino
“The Incapacitation Effect of Incarceration: Evidence from Several Italian Collective Pardons”

The motivation for the prize is: “this paper has all the desirable qualities of an outstanding piece of empirical work. It addresses a well-defined and policy relevant issue, presents a sketchy but insightful theoretical model, and carries out methodologically sound econometric work on a carefully collected data set. Also the results are interesting and the policy implications well spelled out. In particular, the Program Committee praises the authors for their attention to the relevance of the identification problem in econometrics and their innovative solution”.

The winning paper will be awarded 2500 Euros generously given by the journal Giornale degli Economisti.
