The deadline for the TIAA-CREF Samuelson award is coming up. Some inside
information: there are only 14 submissions so far, so your chances are
better than you think. The selection committee has traditionally taken a
rather broad view of "lifelong financial security", and emphasized good
academic work over the exact field of application. Don't send things to me,
follow the link below.
