The committee provided the following statement about their choice for this award:

The committee was pleased with the strong set of finalist papers. The winning paper, “Ghost Ads: Improving the Economics of Measuring Online Ad Effectiveness,” brought attention to a long-standing, real-world problem and provided a methodologically sophisticated yet managerially practical solution to it. The ghost-ads methodology works with modern online ad platforms to reduce the cost of experimentation and improve measurement precision. It has been used by several advertisers, including Duracell, Nissan, and Samsung. Today, several advertising platforms offer ghost ad methodologies to measure ad effectiveness.

Three other excellent papers were named finalists for the 2022 Weitz-Winer-O’Dell Award. Congratulations to the authors of all four of these papers:
