To further stimulate and promote research on the economies of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, the CBCS launched the 2nd Edition of the CBCS Best Economic Research Award. HAVO and VWO students in Curaçao and Sint Maarten as well as local and international bachelor and master students are invited to participate in this competition.
Mr. Gijs Mantel, VWO-student at the Vespucci College in Curaçao, was awarded this year’s CBCS Best Economic Research Award for his economic research paper (i.e., profielwerkstuk) titled ‘Restaurant Gouverneur De Rouville’. In his paper, Gijs explored factors which could improve the competitive position of the restaurant on the local market.
