Dear all,

We invite researchers to submit papers or extended abstracts to the 6^th
Economics of Media Bias Workshop. Organized by the eponymous research
network (
https://www.wzb.eu/en/research/markets-and-choice/economics-of-change/forschungsnetzwerk-economics-of-media-bias
), 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 bias, especially in news markets and on
social media. 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, political, and social consequences of media bias?

Keynote speeches will be delivered by Julia Cagé (Sciences Po) and
Theresa Kuchler (NYU Stern). The workshop will be held on site at the
ifo Institute for Economic Research in Munich, contingent on the
development of the coronavirus pandemic.

Submission:

Both theoretical and empirical work is welcome.Those interested in
