Early career (TAs and PhD students). Anmol Somanchi, Paris School of Economics. 
Anmol’s students report that he very skilled at making complex topics understandable and interesting, a very impressive feat for an early career teacher. He succeeds in making his econometrics classes relevant and rewarding.

The EEA Award for Innovation in Teaching goes to LMU-York Virtual Journal Club for Undergraduates (Matthias Lang and Karen Bernhardt-Walther). This collaborative initiative uses new technologies to create an environment where undergraduates in two universities meet virtually to discuss economics research. Students appreciate the opportunity for productive interaction with faculty and other students and feel the club helps them develop on multiple dimensions.
