T. BASWELL DONALDSON MEMORIAL LECTURE & RESEARCH PRIZE (2018) RESEARCH COMPETITION
The T. Baswell Donaldson Research Prize continues the legacy of the first Governor of the Central Bank of The Bahamas in striving to identify and inspire young scholars who are destined to stand out in their future contribution to Bahamian scholarship and national development in the areas of economic, finance and business. The T. Baswell Donaldson Research Prize is also in the tradition established by Mr. Donaldson, of recognizing the value of higher education and technical skills in supporting progressive development of both regulators and other participants in the domestic economic space. Through the Central Bank, Mr. Donaldson was instrumental in establishing the Bahamas Institute of Bankers (now the Bahamas Institute for Financial Services) and he contributed as a past Chairman of the College of The Bahamas (now the University of The Bahamas).
Students are invited to submit a completed, unpublished research paper, on a policy, applied or theoretical treatment of a topic in business, economics or finance that is of direct relevance to The Bahamas. The submission must be of an academic quality and adhering to academic standards of formatting and presentation. Judging of submissions will be done by an independent panel of academic and professional experts. The deadline for submissions is April 30 2018. The Research Prize is $20,000. The prize winner will also present the TB Donaldson Memorial Lecture, on their research, at a public event in June 2018.
