Faculty Fellow receives the 2015 Fiona McGillivray award at the APSA annual meeting

Sep 08, 2015

According to the APSA website, “The McGillivray Best Paper Award is given for the best paper in Political Economy presented at the previous year’s APSA Annual Meeting.” At the award ceremony, the Chair of the award committee stated that, “Using historical examples and reasoning by analogy—the paper likens the effects of the consumption booms that accompany war-fighting to the effects of the peacetime demand shock that would occur if millions of Chinese consumers were to decide to purchase new automobiles at the same time—Gholz makes a compelling case.  Well-argued, punchy, and provocative, his paper is a consumption boom for the reader.”
