Congratulations to the 2007 Gosnell Prize winners - Harvard's very own Alberto Abadie, Alexis Diamond, and Jens Hainmueller! They won for their paper "[Synthetic Control Methods for Comparative Case Studies: Estimating the Effect of California's Tobacco Control Program](http://polmeth.wustl.edu/retrieve.php?id=684)", which was presented at this year's MPSA conference in Chicago. We saw an earlier version of the paper this past semester at the [Applied Stats workshop](http://www.iq.harvard.edu/blog/sss/archives/2007/02/applied_statist_34.shtml), and I have to say, the award is well deserved. The Gosnell Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at any political science conference in the preceding year. Alexis is a two-time recipient, having shared the award with Jas Sekhon in 2005 for their paper on genetic matching.
