<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">This is a competitive ENRE Section award that recognizes the lifetime achievements of INFORMS scholars who have made sustained and exceptional contributions to the major areas spanned by ENRE. The
name honors the legacy of Harold Hotelling (1895-1973) who made extensive theoretical contributions to the fields of economics and statistics, and applied optimization methods to various practical and important problems in economics, most notably to spatial
economics and optimum management of natural resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
