CALL FOR
PAPERS************************
*********************************************************************************
The NBER research program in Industrial Organization will next meet at
the NBER Summer Institute on Thursday, July 20 and Friday, July 21.
This summer, the IO program will sponsor a half-day specialized session
as well as our standard program meeting. Philip Leslie and Lanier
Benkard will co-organize both meetings.
A specialized session on "Methodological Advances in Empirical
Industrial Organization," consisting of 3 - 4 papers, will
begin on Thursday morning and run through lunch. For
this session, we seek submissions with a
methodological focus, which may include an application to illustrate the
implementation and/or usefulness of the method. The
format for this session will involve a 35-40 minute presentation by the
author, 10-15 minutes of comments by the discussant, and the remaining
time devoted to floor discussion.
For the IO program meeting, we solicit papers across a broad range
of questions, methods, and applications in industrial organization.
This year, the program meeting will begin Thursday afternoon and continue
through Friday afternoon. Our ideal is research at the working
paper stage. We will follow our usual program meeting format:
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 Friday, June 30..
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 MONDAY MAY
1. Please indicate whether you would like the
paper to be considered for the specialized session, the general program
meeting, or both. Electronic submissions should be sent to:
Nancy Rose
<nrose@mit.edu>
Philip Leslie
<pleslie@STANFORD.EDU>
Lanier Benkard
<Benkard_Lanier@gsb.stanford.edu>
**THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS **
** MONDAY MAY 1 **
Authors of papers selected for the program will be notified by May
24.
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!
Nancy L. Rose
IO Program Director
