CALL FOR
PAPERS************************
*********************************************************************************
The NBER research program in Industrial Organization will next meet in
Palo Alto on Friday, February 19 and Saturday,
February 20, 2010. The program will begin with lunch on Friday and
continue through late Saturday afternoon. Justine Hastings and Stephen
Ryan 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 Wednesday, January 27.
If you have a paper you would like to present,
send a copy of
the paper NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, November 20, 2009 to:
Nancy Rose
<nrose@mit.edu>
Justine Hastings
<justine.hastings@yale.edu>
Stephen Ryan
<sryan@mit.edu>
**THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS **
** Friday, November 20, 2009 **
Authors of papers selected for the program will be notified by
December 21. While we have space for only a
small fraction of
submissions we receive, we give each our careful consideration.
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. Researchers may self-subscribe to the
call for papers distribution list at:
