Faculty Awards Two $500 Economics Prizes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

George Jaszi and Pei-Kang Chang, who received Ph.D.s in 1946, each won a $500 David P. Wells Prize in Economics yesterday for a thesis in the field.

Jaszi's prize-winning thesis discussed the subject of "The concept of National Income and National Product with Special Reference to Government Transactions," while Chang wrote on "Agriculture and Industrialization."

Ordinarily only one prize of $500 is given each year, but awarding of two prizes became possible because no thesis meriting a prize was presented in 1945-46.
