The purpose of the Distinguished Public Policy Fellow Award (DPPFA) is to acknowledge and celebrate contributions by economists to public debate on policy issues in accordance with the Society’s objective to encourage research and public debate. This award is a companion to the Society’s longstanding Distinguished Fellow Award (DFA) and is intended to have the same standing in terms of the excellence of the contribution of recipients. The Central Committee encourages nominations of both academic and non-academic economists for consideration for the award.
