Call for Papers
7^th Economics of Media Bias Workshop
February 29 – March 1, 2024, in Cologne, Germany
We invite researchers to submit papers or extended abstracts to the 7^th
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?
The keynote speech will be delivered by Vincenzo Galasso (Bocconi
University).
