RES Essay Competition + Adam Smith Institute
t2u guidence
The 2011 Royal Economic Society Essay Competition for students is launched today. The RES judging panel has settled on five essay titles covering a range of macro and micro economic issues. They are listed below. The first prize will once again be £1,000 together with an engraved trophy. The deadline for submitting essays will be Monday16th of May at 2400 hours. All essays must be submitted online using the official entry form.
For 2010 nearly two hundred schools and colleges from across the UK and beyond submitted entries from their students and there were 600 essays entered. We are hoping that the 2011 competition will prove equally popular. The maximum word count for entries is 2,000 words (excluding references including bibliography and footnote). Please note that entries to the competition should be unique (i.e. not published elsewhere or submitted to other essay competitions.
Here are the selected essay titles…
1/ Is the rise of China good for America and Europe?
2/ Has recent government policy towards banks reduced the chance of another big financial crisis - or increased it?
3/ Would a ‘fat tax’ be an effective policy to counter obesity?
4/ “An NHS free at point of access is unsustainable in the 21st century and an alternative funding model is needed.” Discuss
5/ Should governments go for growth or for happiness?
Students wishing to enter in 2011 may wish to take a look at the winning entry in 2010
Please note that entries to the competition should be unique (i.e. not published elsewhere or submitted to other essay competitions.)
