From: Michael Ostrovsky and Eric Budish

The National Bureau of Economic Research workshop on Market Design is a forum to discuss new academic research related to the design of market institutions, broadly defined. The next meeting will be held in Stanford, California on October 16 & 17, 2026. We are planning for an in-person only meeting. There will not be an option to attend virtually.

We welcome new and interesting research and are happy to see papers from a variety of fields. Participants in the past meeting covered a range of topics and methodological approaches. Last year's program can be viewed at: https://www.nber.org/conferences/market-design-working-group-meeting-fall-2025

The conference does not publish proceedings or issue NBER working papers - most of the presented papers are presumed to be published later in journals.

We would appreciate it if you could pass this call for papers on to colleagues who might be interested, but who may not be on the Bureau's mailing list. Submissions are welcome from researchers with and without NBER affiliations and from researchers at all career stages.

If you are interested in presenting a paper this year, please upload a PDF version by midnight EDT on August 23, 2026, to this link: https://conference.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=MDf26

Preference will be given to papers for which at least a preliminary draft is ready by the time of submission. Only authors of accepted papers will be contacted.

Unfortunately, the NBER cannot cover the travel costs or hotel expenses of participants.

There are a limited number of spaces available for graduate students to attend the conference, though we cannot cover their costs. Please email ostr...@stanford.edu and eric....@chicagobooth.edu a short
nominating paragraph.

Please forward this announcement to any potentially interested scholars.

We look forward to hearing from you.
