Mischa Aebi (Tamedia) for his report on the taxation of retirement savings published in the newspaper SonntagsZeitung on 12 January 2025. Mischa Aebi independently collected and analysed detailed data from cantonal tax administrations to estimate the fiscal effect of tax incentives for second-pillar pension savings in Switzerland. This award recognises Mischa Aebi’s effort to obtain administrative data that had hitherto not been publicly accessible, and that allowed him to contribute to the national policy discussion in rigorous, quantitative fashion.

for the papers “From Boom to Bust: The Structural Transfor-mation of Chile’s Industrial Sector After the Nitrate Collapse” and “Climate Change, Income Inequality, and Migration in a Spatial Economy”, respectively,  presented at the 2026 Annual Congress at the University of St. Gallen.
