The Premier Global Prize for Research in Sustainable Finance
The Moskowitz Prize is awarded each year to the paper best representing outstanding research on sustainable and responsible investing and the financial implications of responsible business practices in capital markets.
The Moskowitz Prize recognizes outstanding quantitative research papers that are relevant to investment practitioners in sustainable and responsible finance. Although the prize is usually awarded to a finance paper, past winners have been from the fields of economics and management as well.
The prize is named for Milton Moskowitz (1932-2019), one of the field’s first and most innovative investigators, whose pioneering legacy continues through the Moskowitz Prize. In 2020 the Moskowitz Prize became an initiative of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
INSIGHTS THAT CHANGE THE PRACTICE OF FINANCE
The Moskowitz Prize recognizes quantitative papers that are highly relevant to investment practitioners in sustainable and responsible finance.

The consistent qualities of all papers are rigorous and innovative methods and the potential to change the way we understand the market.
