The Kurt Rothschild Award for Economic Journalism is awarded in memory of the great achievements of the Austrian economist Kurt Rothschild, whose work has had a lasting influence on science, politics and society in Austria. Rothschild has repeatedly called for putting economic research in a broader context by including social, political and ecological conditions in the work of economists. According to the Renner Institute in Vienna, the Rothschild-Award 2019 was given to “researchers and projects that direct their focus of analysis towards this immanent embeddedness of economic developments.”
