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unpublished, but unpublished studies should be of a quality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
SRI in the Rockies conference in San Antonia, TX from November 18-21, 2010.
