Apologies for the late announcement, and short
reply window.
Submissions are due by Monday, May 6 so that we can
get the program finalized before Memorial Day (if you have already
submitted in response to the NBER general SI call, you do not need
to re-submit).

************************ CALENDAR AND CALL FOR
PAPERS************************
*********************************************************************************
The NBER IO program will next meet in Cambridge on Friday, July 19
and Saturday, July 20.
Format: All IO sessions this summer will use an author
presents format.
Friday, July 19, 2013:
The Economics of IT and Digitization/IO joint session:
Organized by Susan Athey, Erik Brynjolfsson, Shane Greenstein, &
Hal Varian
The Digitization program will meet on Thursday, July 18 - Friday,
July 19. A set of papers submitted to the Digitization program with
strong overlap with IO interests will be scheduled for the morning
of Friday, July 19. That call for papers went out several weeks
ago, and the session is being organized by the team noted above.
Competition Policy session: Organized by Fiona Scott Morton
This session is scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, July 19,
beginning with lunch. We encourage submission of empirical and
theoretical papers that examine a broad range of issues with
relevance to competition policy/antitrust economics. These could
include, for example, analyses of models to inform competition
policy decisions, assessments of methodologies used to evaluate
cases, empirical analysis of a specific case/cases, etc.
Saturday, July 20, 2013: full day
General IO Program Meeting: Organized by Allan
Collard-Wexler and Fiona Scott Morton
For the general IO program meeting we solicit 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.
Decisions for the Competition Policy and General IO program
meeting sessions will be based on drafts of complete papers submitted
no later than Monday, May 6 to:
http://papers.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI13IO
NOTE: All papers accepted for the IO
sessions must be posted online in
final form no later than June 28, 2013.
If you anticipate a problem meeting that deadline, please
reserve your submission for the winter 2014 IO program meeting.
Authors of papers selected for the IO program will be notified by
the end of May. 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:
