The organisers and steering committee of the 22nd CEPR Conference on Applied Industrial Organization (IO) are writing to invite you to submit a paper or to express your interest in attending the conference. We are planning for the 22nd CEPR/JIE Conference on Applied Industrial Organization to take place physically in Berlin but will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation. The conference will be organised by Özlem Bedre-Defolie (ESMT Berlin and CEPR), Tomaso Duso (DIW Berlin and CEPR) and Tobias Salz (MIT).

The event will take place in Berlin on 13-15 June 2022. Financial support for the conference is generously provided BCCP, CEPR, Charles River Associates, DIW Berlin, DIW Vereinigung Der Freunde, E.CA Economics, EIEF, ESMT Berlin and the Journal of Industrial Economics (JIE). This Conference is supported by and organised in cooperation with the project Digital Platforms: Pricing, Variety, and Quality Provision (DIPVAR). DIPVAR Project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 853123.

Conference Details:
The Applied IO conference series seeks to contribute to the understanding of the breadth of topics analysed within the field of Industrial Organization, including demand, productivity, competition in the short- and long-run, innovation, investment, and auctions, to develop empirical protocols and tests of economic models, to promote the exchange and the dissemination of results at the forefront of research, and finally, to evaluate current competition and regulation policies. It will cover the state of the art in both theoretical and empirical Industrial Organization.

Young European researchers are encouraged to apply to the concurrent CEPR/JIE School for Industrial Organization.  The goal of the school is to provide a forum for young European researchers in Applied IO to get exposure for and receive feedback on their work.  Based on the success of the format last year, researchers accepted to the school will give very short (<10 min) presentations of their work at some point during the conference and participate in poster sessions during an extended lunch period immediately after their presentations.  Given its goals, only young researchers pursuing or having recently (within four years) received a PhD from a European economics programme are eligible. Preference will be given to those students expecting to go on the academic job market in 2022-23, with additional (though lesser) preference given to other applicants according to their time since PhD completion. 

Applicants to the main conference that are eligible and wish to also be considered for the school should indicate such with their submission. In such cases, no separate school application is necessary.  Further details about the school are included in its own Call for Papers available here. 

Please forward this call to others, especially junior faculty, who might have papers suitable for the conference or school.  Papers will be selected by a committee of the organisers.
