The KAEA is soliciting high quality papers on the theme, but also will consider papers in the general area of industrial organization which have relevant policy implications.

The deadline to submit a manuscript or extended abstract (700–1,000 words) is Friday, March 31, 2017. Submissions should include JEL codes. Submissions are to be made by e-mail addressed to Vice President Inhyuck “Steve” Ha (iha@wcu.edu). Abstracts of papers, without the full manuscript, will be considered, but preference will be given to full manuscripts. All submitted papers will be reviewed by anonymous referees selected by the KAEA and the KIET. Acceptance decisions will be made by April 15, and the authors will be notified by email.
