Faculty Achievements

The annual ASA Statistics in Marketing doctoral dissertation competition recognizes doctoral students whose dissertation research is at the intersection of marketing and statistical methods. An award committee appointed by the American Statistical Association's Section on Marketing Committee judges submissions on their potential contribution to the application of statistics in marketing. This contribution may be theoretical, methodological, or substantive in nature. Important factors in assessing the research will be the quality of the conceptual development, creativity, rigor, and clarity of the paper.

The competition, held annually, aims to recognize exceptional doctoral dissertation that addresses important topics in marketing science. The committee will use the following criteria to judge the proposals: 1. Problem importance 2. Likely theoretical contribution, and/or advance in marketing science 3. Likely contribution to marketing practice 4. Appropriateness of method/research design

for the discussion of The complex materiality of proprietary ESG information: Evidence from actively managed funds (by Cremers, Riley, and Zambrana).

The Europlace Institute of Finance (IEF), a foundation of the Louis Bachelier Network, awards the prize for the Best Young Researcher in Finance to promising researchers under 40 years old.

The Fellow Award represents SCP’s highest honor—the award recognizes seasoned scholars who received a Ph.D. 15+ years ago and who have made outstanding and unusual contributions to consumer psychology, through both research and service. Evaluation criteria include not only research impact but also institutional and field leadership. The criterion of “outstanding and unusual” goes beyond the mere existence of relevant publications and evidence of steady and continuing competence, which are necessary, but insufficient, indicators.

Publications must include impressive work, have an impact upon others, and have been refereed appropriately. Citation of the nominee’s work by others is an important indicator of the impact of a contribution. Long-term SCP membership and activity (e.g., conference participation and leadership roles) are highly desirable. Accumulation of impact, performance, and service over time must be demonstrated.

The Moskowitz Prize is awarded each year to the paper best representing outstanding research on sustainable and responsible investing and the financial implications of responsible business practices in capital markets.

The Moskowitz Prize recognizes outstanding quantitative research papers that are relevant to investment practitioners in sustainable and responsible finance. Although the prize is usually awarded to a finance paper, past winners have been from the fields of economics and management as well.

The prize is named for Milton Moskowitz (1932-2019), one of the field’s first and most innovative investigators, whose pioneering legacy continues through the Moskowitz Prize. In 2020 the Moskowitz Prize became an initiative of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

The John D. C. Little award is given annually to the best marketing paper published in Marketing Science, Management Science, or another INFORMS journal.
