Call for Papers

A Conference on Auctions, Firm Behavior, and Policy will be held June 10 and 11, 2024, in-person at the University of Oklahoma, in Norman, Oklahoma. We are particularly interested in applied research using different methodologies (structural econometrics, reduced-form approaches, experiments, applied theory). If you are interested in presenting your research, participating in some capacity, or if you have questions, please email oueconconf@gmail.com. Researchers hoping to present their work should attach their paper as a PDF and send an email by April 1. Early career scholars are especially encouraged to submit their work for consideration.

This conference is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Funds are available to provide accommodations and subsidize travel expenses for presenters, with special effort to support the attendance of presenters without their own source of travel funding. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by May 1 with the program announced by May 8. All interested are welcome to join, regardless of their role at the conference. To aid with planning, all attendees will be asked to complete a conference registration form by May 22.

Context

The University of Oklahoma will host the second of two meetings focused on recent research on auctions, firm behavior, and policy. The conference at Colby was sponsored by NSF grant #1919343, while the second conference in 2024 will be held at the University of Oklahoma and is sponsored by NSF grant #1919345. The two grants constitute a collaborative proposal supported by the Division of Social and Economic Sciences at the NSF. Though this conference is supported by the NSF, any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
