Richard Musgrave Prize.

Since 1999, the Richard Musgrave Prize has been presented annually to the author(s) of the most outstanding paper published in the National Tax Journal. With this award, the National Tax Association both recognizes Richard Musgrave's contributions to the theory and practice of public finance and honors authors of outstanding new contributions to the field. Each year, all refereed papers published in the March, June and December issues are automatically eligible for the award. The selection is made by members of the NTJ's Editorial Advisory Board.
