Empirical Management Conference

Management Practices in the Private and Social Sectors

We will be running a two-day conference on empirical management, focused on exploring recent empirical research on measuring and exploring management and organizational practices. We are seeking applied and empirical research papers in both the private and the social sector, including education and health, covering a range of topics in this area. We are particularly, but not exclusively, interested in papers that are relevant to policy in developing countries. This format follows Empirical Management Conferences at Harvard in 2014, at Stanford in 2015, and at MIT in 2016.

The conference takes place at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, D.C., on December 7-8, 2017.

Keynote speakers: Caroline Hoxby and John Van Reenen

Funding for travelling and accommodation costs of up to US$500 will be provided. Additional funding may be available for presenters with no other sources of funding and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please indicate the need of extra funding together with your submission.

Attendees are expected to attend the full conference. If for any reason you cannot attend the full conference please note this also in your submission.

Please send papers to Maria Elena Paz-Gutzalenko (mpazgutzalenko@worldbank.org) by August 1, 2017.
