Re: Estelle S. Cantillon
Assistant Professor Estelle S. Cantillon, who earned her Ph.D in
economics from Harvard University in 2000, has won the David A. Wells Prize for
her dissertation, "Essays in Auction Theory and Political Economy." The
prize recognizes the Harvard Economics Department's best doctoral dissertation
and is awarded only when an "exceptional thesis is produced." Among past
winners are Bishop William Lawrence University Professor Michael E. Porter
(1973-74) and Nobel laureates Paul A. Samuelson (1941-42) and A. Michael Spence
(1971-72).
