*********************************************************************************

The NBER research program in Industrial Organization will next meet at the NBER Summer Institute on Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21 (note the shift in days for this year).  The program will host with a roundtable industry discussion on the pharmaceutical industry on Friday morning.  The research meeting will begin on Friday, following lunch, and continue through Saturday afternoon.  Steve Berry and Fiona Scott Morton will organize the program meeting.

For the IO program meeting, we solicit papers across a broad range of questions, methods, and applications in industrial organization.  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 FRIDAY, APRIL 20.   Electronic submissions should be sent to:
                                   
                          Nancy Rose <nrose@mit.edu>
                          Steven Berry <steven.berry@yale.edu>
                          Fiona Scott Morton <fiona.scottmorton@yale.edu>          
                                   
        
                    **THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS **
                                  **   FRIDAY, APRIL 20 **

Authors of papers selected for the program will be notified by May 15.

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!
