Stanislav Avdeev has been awarded the 2025 ESPE PhD Prize, created by the European Society for Population Economics to recognize outstanding work by PhD candidates in population economics. He is the first recipient of this newly launched award.
His paper, “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization,” explores the long-term impact of international students on native students in higher education.
This is the second paper award Stanislav receives for this paper. In May, he also won the best paper award at the 2025 CESifo/ifo Junior Workshop on the Economics of Education.
This year’s ESPE conference was held in Naples on June 12-14, 2025, and featured close to 250 presentations divided into 9 sessions, out of which 20% of the presentations were by PhD students.
Stanislav is an alumnus of Tinbergen Institute's Research Master in Economics and currently a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Amsterdam. His supervisors are Bas van der Klaauw (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Hessel Oosterbeek (University of Amsterdam).
