Call for Papers - NBER Market Design Working Group, October 2021. Submission deadline: August 15, 2021

[Michael Ostrovsky]

From: Michael Ostrovsky and Parag Pathak

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
on October 21-23, 2021. Given the uncertainty regarding the pandemic,
our tentative plan is to hold the meeting on Zoom, like we did last
year.  But if conditions improve and it becomes feasible, we may move
the meetings to take place in person, in which case they will most
likely take place at Stanford, CA, on October 22-23. We may also
explore hybrid options. We will have more clarity by the end of the summer.

As always, 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:  http://conference.nber.org/altsched/mdf20

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

There is no requirement to be an NBER-affiliated researcher to
participate. Younger researchers are especially encouraged to submit papers.

If you are interested in presenting a paper this year, please upload
a PDF version by August 15, 2021 to this link:
http://conference.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=MDf21

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.

Please forward this announcement to any potentially interested
scholars. We look forward to hearing from you.
