CALL FOR STUDIES
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 30, 2010
PURPOSE: The annual Moskowitz Prize is the only
global award recognizing outstanding quantitative
research in the field of socially responsible
investing (SRI). First presented in 1996 by the
Social Investment Forum – the national trade
association for the socially and environmentally
responsible investing (SRI) industry, the Prize
came under the umbrella of the Center for
Responsible Business at UC Berkeley’s Haas School
of Business in 2005. The Prize is named for
Milton Moskowitz, one of the first investigators
to publish comparisons of the financial
performance of screened and unscreened
portfolios. His distinguished works include “The
100 Best Companies to Work for in America”, an
annual list published in Fortune magazine, and
“The Global Marketplace: 102 of the Most
Influential Companies Outside America”.
PRIZE: The $5,000 Prize competition is open to
authors of studies relevant to social investing.
Studies from all business disciplines are
welcomed, but should be of a quality suitable for
publication in an academic journal. The
prize-winning study is selected by a panel of
judges from academia and the investment industry,
and will be accepted for publication in the
Journal of Investing. Honorable mention or
additional monetary prizes may be awarded at the
judges’ discretion. The Moskowitz Prize is
administered by an independent group of
volunteers in cooperation with the Center for Responsible Business.
ELIGIBILITY: Anyone may enter. Studies may be
published or unpublished, but unpublished studies
should be of a quality appropriate for
publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal.
Studies will be considered for the Prize only once.
JUDGING CRITERIA: Entries are reviewed by a jury
of scholars and investment professionals. Judging criteria includes:
1. Practical significance to practitioners of
socially responsible investing.
2. Appropriateness and rigor of quantitative methods.
3. Novelty of results.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNER: The winning study will be
announced at the
<http://www.sriintherockies.com/>SRI in the
Rockies conference in San Antonio, TX from November 18-21, 2010.
