From 8 to 10 June 2022, the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich, the Chair for Technology and Innovation Management at TUM, the Chair for Economics of Innovation at TUM, the Institute for Strategy, Technology and Organization at LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition will jointly organize the sixth Munich Summer Institute.
We plan to hold the Munich Summer Institute 2022 as an in-person event (no hybrid meeting) in Munich. If the Covid19 pandemic makes such physical meeting unfeasible, we will shift to an online event on the same days. This year, the Munich Summer Institute will be preceded by a doctoral workshop on 7 June 2022.
The Summer Institute will focus on three areas:
- Digitalization, Strategy and Organization
(chairs: Jörg Claussen and Tobias Kretschmer), - Innovation and Entrepreneurship
(chairs: Dietmar Harhoff, Joachim Henkel and Hanna Hottenrott), and - Law & Economics of Intellectual Property, Innovation & Digitalization
(chair: Stefan Bechtold).
The goal of the Munich Summer Institute is to stimulate a rigorous in-depth discussion of a select number of research papers and to strengthen the interdisciplinary international research community in these areas. Researchers in economics, law, management and related fields at all stages of their career (from Ph.D. students to full professors) may attend the Munich Summer Institute as presenters in a plenary or a poster session, as discussants or as attendants. The Munich Summer Institute will feature three keynote lectures, 12 plenary presentations and a daily poster session (including a poster slam). The Munich Summer Institute focuses on quantitative empirical research. Participation in the Munich Summer Institute is by invitation only.
Keynote speakers are:
- Hanna Halaburda, New York University
- Nicola Lacetera, University of Toronto
- Melissa Wasserman, University of Texas at Austin
Paper submission procedure
Researchers who would like to present a paper are invited to submit their paper online until 15 March 2022. The Munich Summer Institute only considers papers which have not been published or accepted for publication at the date of submission. Paper selections will be announced in mid-April 2022. The program of the Munich Summer Institute will be available in early May 2022. Final papers will be made available to conference participants on a public website, and are due on 15 May 2022. Researchers who would like to attend the Munich Summer Institute without giving a presentation should contact one of the organizers by 15 May 2022.
