The 2018 Bernácer Prize has been awarded to Professor Gabriel Zucman (University of California Berkeley) “for his influential research on wealth inequality and the redistributive effects of globalization.”

The Bernácer Prize is awarded annually to European economists under the age of 40, who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of macroeconomics and finance.

The prize was established in 2001 to recognise the work of young economists from the European Union and to stimulate research on European macroeconomics and financial issues.
