Montreal has an active community of IO economists. I help in the coordination of the following activities.
The HEC Montreal IO Conference (see other sponsors in the program for each year below)
This is a joint initiative with Rob Clark, Allan Collard-Wexler, Gautam Gowrisankaran, and myself that brings six speakers each year to HEC Montreal to present frontier work in IO. This is a list of some of the previous editions. This is a by-invitation-only conference.
Workshop on the Applications of Industrial Organization
This is a joint initiative with Laura Lasio, Mathieu Marcoux, Nathan Yang, and myself that brings six speakers each year to Montreal to present state-of-the-art work on a specific area of IO.
The 2020 edition of the Workshop will take place on April 17. Final program coming soon.
We meet every three weeks at one of the following universities in the city: HEC Montreal, McGill, Concordia or University of Montreal, to discuss a pre-specified paper. PhD students are more than welcome to participate.
