XIII Workshop on
INSTITUTIONS, INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOUR AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES
Digital economics
1-2 July 2024
Organizers
Elias Carroni - Università di Bologna
Leonardo Madio - Università di Padova
Dimitri Paolini - Università di Sassari
Michelangelo Rossi - Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris
The Digital economics meeting mainly focuses on the economic analysis (theoretical or empirical) of digital markets with particular emphasis on:
-
policy issues (antitrust and regulation) related to digital platforms and social media;
-
strategic behavior of firms operating in these markets;
-
use of big data and artificial intelligence as strategic tools for firms to compete.
The three main themes above are motivated by the challenges that policymakers face when dealing with the specificity of digital markets and by the need of an economic understanding (theoretical and empirical) of the driving forces and welfare consequences of firms strategies in the digital era.
Economic history
1 July 2024
Organizers
Paolo Di Martino - Università di Torino
Giulia Mancini - Università di Sassari
Alessandro Nuvolari - Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna
The relationship between economic history and economics has gone through phases of closeness and separation. The aim of this meeting is to present and discuss state-of-the-art works in economic history that are able to highlight the complementarities between the two disciplines, and contribute to the cross-fertilisation of the two fields. In the spirit of showcasing the span of topics and methods in economic history, the organisers welcome proposals on any historical period and geographical area, and espousing any approach, from “traditional” economic history, to cliometrics and historical economics. Authors are encouraged to submit a full paper, or alternatively a detailed abstract (about 1,000 words).
The meeting is supported by ASE (Associazione per la Storia Economica).

The meeting aims to bring together researchers to discuss recent advances in the Economics of Education.

In particular, but not exclusively, empirical and theoretical contributions on the role of Higher Education Institutions are welcome.
Political economy

The political economy meeting will display a number of invited speakers, including Marco Tabellini from Harvard Business School, Edoardo Teso from Northwestern University Kellogg, Alberto Bisin from NYU, Karine Van der Straten from Toulouse and others.

The Corporate finance, financial intermediation and macro-finance meeting at the 13th IBEO Workshop is an event designed for researchers working on broad finance and macro-finance topics. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome.
In corporate finance, we welcome contributions that investigate firm decisions on investment and financing, firms’ interactions with various stakeholders, corporate governance and institutional activism, design of organizational structures, compensation and incentive mechanisms, corporate social responsibility, and implementation of ESG mandates.
In financial intermediation, we encourage contributions on the role of banking and non-banking financial institutions, the micro transmission mechanisms of financial shocks and policies, the financing of small- and medium-sized enterprises, and the interaction between fintech and traditional financial intermediation.
In macro-finance, we welcome contributions on the quantitative role of the credit channel and financial intermediation frictions for macroeconomic outcomes, the interaction between monetary and macroprudential policy, and the redistributive effects of financial policies and shocks. Particularly welcome are contributions emphasizing the microeconomic foundations via dynamic structural modeling, while being grounded in the data.
