ISE 第三届（2024年度）最佳论文奖评选工作于近日完成。作者冯志钢（内布拉斯加大学）发表于2024年第1期的 “Macroeconomic consequences of alternative reforms to the health insurance system in the United States”，王翰墨（香港大学经管学院）、王舒琪（中国农业大学国家农业农村发展研究院）和张栋（北京机器学习科技有限公司）合作发表于2024年第4期的“Palm as Decentralized Identifiers: Mitigate scrounging of platform economy”获奖。

第一篇论文中，作者构建了一个动态一般均衡模型，以探究美国医疗保险体系改革对宏观经济和社会福利的影响。第二篇论文中，作者构建了一个模型对数字平台促销中的“薅羊毛”行为进行特征化描述，并提供相应的理论解释，同时引入Palm作为去中心化标识符（Decentralized Identifiers, DIDs）的概念，并提供“人类证明”（Proof-of-Human, PoH）机制，以减少虚假身份的存在。

设立ISE年度最佳论文奖的目的在于表彰优秀学术成果、吸引更多高质量论文、促进学术交流。评选范围为当年出版的自由投稿。期刊将为获奖稿件作者颁发荣誉证书及税前3000元人民币/篇的现金奖励。

本届最佳论文奖评选工作于2025年初启动，由ISE主编团队、特邀编辑等共同组成评审委员会提名推荐论文名单并最终选定获奖论文。

In the former paper, Dr. Feng presents a dynamic general equilibrium model designed to examine the macroeconomic effects and welfare implications of alternative reforms to the US health insurance system, while in the latter paper, the authors develop a model that characterizes scrounging behavior in digital platform promotions and provides a theoretical explanation, and introduce Palm as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), offering Proof-of-Human (PoH) to reduce fake identity prevalence.

The selection process was launched in early 2025, marking the journal’s third annual best paper award. The aim of the award is to acknowledge academic excellence of publications of the year in the ISE，attract more high-quality submissions, and promote academic exchanges. The winner will receive a certificate plus a cash prize of 3000 RMB (pre-tax). 

An Evaluation Committee, including the Editor, Executive Editor, Guest Editor, and Co-editors of the ISE, has been established to evaluate the papers, propose a nomination list, and select the winners.
