************************        CALL FOR PAPERS************************
*********************************************************************************

The NBER research program in Industrial Organization will next meet at the NBER Summer Institute, on Thursday, July 22, and Friday, July 23.

The I.O. program meeting is used to discuss current research on topics in applied industrial organization.   Our ideal is research at the working paper stage.  We will follow the format used at the previous meetings: Discussants will take about 25 minutes to summarize and critique the paper; authors will be given about 10-15 minutes to add their remarks, and the remaining 30 minutes or so will be devoted to discussion from the floor.  To ensure that completed papers are available for distribution, we will decide the program based primarily on submissions of draft papers.  These are the papers that will be posted for participants unless a revised version is received by the NBER conference department by July 1. 

If you have a paper you would like to present, please send a copy of the paper (preferred) or a detailed abstract NO LATER THAN FRIDAY MAY 7.   I apologize for the short fuse on this, and any inconvenience it creates.  Electronic submissions may be sent to:

                        nrose@MIT.EDU
        
                    **THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS **
                                  **   FRIDAY MAY 7**

If you know of others, especially junior faculty, who might have papers suitable for this meeting, please encourage them to submit their papers to us.  Not everyone receives an e-mail call; we count on your to get the word out!  While we have space for only a fraction of the submissions, we give each our careful consideration.  Thanks!
