CALL FOR
PAPERS************************
*********************************************************************************
The NBER research program in Industrial Organization will next meet at
the NBER Palo Alto offices on Friday, February 20 and Saturday,
February 21, 2009. The program will begin with lunch on Friday and
continue through late Saturday afternoon. Matthew Gentzkow and Matthew
White will organize the meeting.
The IO program meeting solicits papers across a broad range of
questions, methods, and applications in industrial organization, with
an emphasis on empirical IO.
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
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, January 30.
If you have a paper you would like to present,
send a copy of
the paperNO LATER THAN MONDAY, November 24, 2008 to:
Nancy Rose
<nrose@mit.edu>
Matthew Gentzkow <
Matthew.Gentzkow@chicagogsb.edu>
Matthew White
<mawhite@wharton.upenn.edu>
**THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS **
** Monday, November 24, 2008 **
Authors of papers selected for the program will be notified by
December 15.
Please forward this call to others, especially junior faculty, who
might have papers
suitable for this meeting. We try to be inclusive, but don't have
every e-mail on our distribution list, and we count on
your help 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
