The CRESSE Young Researchers Award establishes the four best papers selected by the CRESSE Scientific Committee among those submitted for presentation by young researchers at the CRESSE 2024 conference.
This year, EUI Economics alumnus, Yann Delaprez received the award for his paper ‘Unveiling Bargaining Impacts of Mergers and Divestitures’, in which he examines merger and divestiture policies within a Nash-bargaining framework, where a key innovation is that bargaining weights are endogenous to the market structure.
