The INFORMS Auctions and Market Design (AMD) Section [1] is happy to 
announce the Michael H. Rothkopf Junior Researcher Paper Prize. The 
prize recognizes the best paper by a junior researcher in the area of 
auctions and market design. The paper should provide an innovative 
approach to a realistic market-design problem, and should have potential 
impact for real-world market design. Judging criteria will include 
technical quality and richness of the solution approach and potential or 
demonstrated impact on practice. The first, second, and third prizes are 
awarded with a $500, $300, and $100 honorarium, respectively.

Eligibility Conditions:

  	* Entrant must be a current PhD student (enrolled on or after January 
1, 2022) or be a recent PhD graduate (with a PhD conferred no earlier 
than January 1, 2019).
  	* The submitted paper must present original research conducted 
primarily by the entrant. If the work includes co-authorship, co-authors
