Federal Trade Commission Microeconomics Conference Website

The Federal Trade Commission Microeconomics Conference is held annually in November and brings together researchers from universities throughout the world, other government agencies, and other organizations to discuss antitrust, consumer protection, and policy issues that the economists in the FTC’s Bureau of Economics encounter in their work. The conference also provides an opportunity for scholars outside the FTC to gain a better understanding of the work of the FTC and the economic analysis conducted within the FTC’s Bureau of Economics.
The scientific committee for the conference is:

  • Michael Baye (University of Indiana Kelley School of Business)
  • Ginger Jin (University of Maryland)
  • Francine Lafontaine (University of Michigan Ross School of Business)
  • Michael Mazzeo (Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management)

Organizer: Chris Adams (FTC)

The conference will be held at the Federal Trade Commission New Jersey Avenue Conference Center, 601 New Jersey Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20001.
