Berkeley Economic Review is now accepting submissions for the Spring 2019 Essay Contest!

Every semester, we pick a contemporary economics-related issue that Berkeley students of any major can write about. We then publish the best submissions in that semester’s volume of the journal (see econreview.studentorg.berkeley.edu/editions for past examples).

By sending us one of the best responses, you’ll win all of the following:

  • publication of your work in the Spring 2019 Volume of Berkeley Economic Review, one of the top undergraduate economics journals in the world
  • cash prizes of up to $50
  • recognition on BER’s social media and website (optional)

So without further ado, here’s the prompt:
——-

“Are tax breaks (and other incentives designed to attract corporations) beneficial to the local economies that offer them?”

Write a short essay (up to 750 words) to support your claim.
——-

DUE DATE: Saturday, March 9th @11:59pm

Please send your response as a PDF to berkeleyeconreview@gmail.com, with the subject line: “S19 Essay Contest: [Your name]”

This contest is open to all currently enrolled UC Berkeley undergraduates. For complete details, check out the Facebook event here: https://tinyurl.com/y3f5os4z (mark ‘Interested’ or ‘Going’). Feel free to message us on our Facebook page or email us at berkeleyeconreview@gmail.com with any questions.

Good luck, and happy writing!
