Our students received Roger Noll Prize

Our student Jan Liehman has received the 2019 Roger Noll Prize for his undergraduate thesis in sports economics. The purpose of the Noll Prize is to recognize and encourage empirical undergraduate scholarship in sports economics.

The winning thesis Do National Hockey League Players Perform Better During Their Contract Years? was supervised by our colleague Matěj Opatrný.

In 2018, the winner of the prize was our student Jakub Linhart. His thesis US Collegiate Football Analysis: Team’s Success as an Indicator of Academic Performance was completed under supervision of dr. Radek Janhuba.

Congratulations to both winners!
