Two students from The University of Western Australia have won the
top national awards in the inaugural Reserve Bank of Australia
Economics Competition.
Callum Jones, 20, of Floreat, won the $1500 first prize while
Virginia Gogan, 19, of Coogee, took second prize of $750. Both students
are in their third year, both studying double degrees in Law and
Economics.
The students’ essays addressed the consequences of an ageing
population for Australia’s future productivity and economic growth, and
the associated economic policy challenges.
