Dear all, We invite researchers to submit papers or extended abstracts to the 5th Economics of Media Bias Workshop. Organized by the eponymous research network, the workshop will be a platform to discuss current research, exchange ideas, and explore new collaboration scenarios. As a group of economists and political scientists, we investigate forms, causes, and consequences of media bias, especially in news markets. Main questions of interest are: * How can media bias be defined and measured? * In which situations is bias driven by the supply side of the news market? When is it caused by the demand side? * What are the economic and political consequences of media bias? The workshop takes place on March 31/April 1, 2022, at WZB in Berlin, Germany. Gregory Crawford (Zurich) and Alois Stutzer (Basel) agreed to deliver the keynote speeches. Both theoretical and empirical work is welcome. Those interested in presenting their work at this workshop are invited to email a research paper or extended abstract to **media.bias@wzb.eu** by December 15, 2021. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by January 15, 2022. Presenters have to carry their own expenses for transportation and accommodation, though we may be able to offer a small number of subsidies for participants without a sufficient travel budget on request. There will be no conference fee. You can find the call for papers attached to this email. Please feel free to share the call with anybody who might be interested in attending. We are looking forward to your contributions. All the best, Maja Adena and Marcel Garz Important dates: December 15, 2021 Deadline for submitting research papers or abstracts January 15, 2022 Notification of acceptance March 31 – April 1, 2022 5th Economics of Media Bias Workshop, Berlin, Germany -- *********************************************** Maja Adena Senior Researcher WZB Berlin Webpage: www.wzb.eu/de/personen/maja-adena and www.maja-adena.de ***********************************************
