Copyright Board of Canada Graduate Student Paper Prize in Copyright Economics
The Copyright Board of Canada is launching a new prize for graduate students in economics, in collaboration with the Canadian Economics Association. This prize will recognize the best article on the economic dimensions of copyright, and will include $ 2,000 in addition to a paid work term of one year within the Board’s Economic Analysis Team.
This new prize aims to promote research and academic thinking on a key aspect in the economics of intellectual property: copyright. While research and teaching in other areas of intellectual property, in particular patents, abound, it is more difficult to find economic experts in the area of copyright. The Board hopes that this prize will contribute to creating interest for a fascinating field whose edges are constantly modified by technological advances.
