His paper titled "Were they a shock or an opportunity? The September 11th attacks and the labor market outcomes of political refugees in the United States - A revisit with non-linear multi-level approaches" was chosen due to both its unique empirical contributions to labor economics and advanced econometric techniques that should attract other economists, according to the statement of a referee. The award came with a cash prize as well.
