2007: Research Award Christina Guenther
Christina Guenther has received the Schumpeter Society Prize at the EMAEE conference for the best Ph.D. student conference paper in 2007. The joint paper with Guido Buenstorf "No place like home? Location choice and firm survival after forced relocation in the German machine tool industry" was selected for the biennially bestowed award for young scholars in the field of applied innovation studies and included a monetary grant.
Moreover, the paper has been chosen as one of three outstanding papers at the DRUID-DIME winter conference for Ph.D. students in the same year. Within the project location choices and firm performance in the German machine tool industry were studied, focusing on the forced migration of East German firms after World War II. Whereas earlier findings on industry agglomerations could be supported as relocating firms were indeed attracted by these agglomerated regions, no evidence was found suggesting that firm performance benefited from agglomeration effects.

The Kapp Prize is jointly awarded by the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy (EAEPE) and the William Kapp Foundation. According to the Prize Committee's statement, the article by Buenstorf and Murmann "presents an historical case which is of high relevance and provides empirical evidence for present day theories of the fi rm. It is [...] a very good example of explaining history and linking it then to theories of the firm." Buenstorf and Murmann share the prize with Otto Steiger (University of Bremen).
