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 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 Gregory Crawford (Zurich) and Alois Stutzer (Basel). The workshop will be held on site at WZB Berlin Social Science Center, contingent on the development of the coronavirus pandemic. *Submission:* 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. *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 *Organizers:* Maja Adena, Marcel Garz All the best, Maja Adena -- *********************************************** Maja Adena Post-Doctoral Researcher WZB Berlin Webpage:www.wzb.eu/de/personen/maja-adena andwww.maja-adena.de ***********************************************
