Since 2003, the European Historical Economics Society has presented the Figuerola Prize at its biannual congresses to the author of the best article published in the European Review of Economic History during the previous two years. Members of the review's editorial board and scientific committee vote on the choice of best article.

At the society's 9th Congress, held in Dublin on 2–3 September 2011, the prize was presented to Antonio Tena-Junguito for his article ‘Bairoch revisited: tariff structure and growth in the late nineteenth century’. Antonio's article was published in vol. 14(1).

The prize is named in honour of Laureana Figuerola, the most outstanding liberal economist in nineteenth-century Spain.

A list of previous prizewinners is available on the Society's website (www.ehes.org). The Society is extremely grateful to the Figuerola Institute for its continuing support of the European Review of Economic History.
