To win the prize, an essay has to be nominated by Calderwood Seminar instructors and is then chosen by a faculty committee. According to David Lindauer, Stanford Calderwood Professor of Economics, “The winners of the Calderwood Prizes all select interesting topics, address their audiences and make their points accessible. They draw the reader in, explain why their subject is important and do so with writing that is authoritative and engaging.”
