Call for papers

The International Association of Sports Economists (IASE) invite you to submit a paper for presentation at the 13th Western Economic Association International Annual Conference in Santiago, Chile. We plan to organize three or four sessions. The Conference will take place Tuesday-Friday, January 3-6, 2017 hosted by Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Santiago at the Casa Central campus at Av. Alameda 340, downtown Santiago.

We are especially interested in papers on South American sport and international themes. However, contributions from all topic areas in sport economics will be considered. Theoretical, empirical, as well as conceptual manuscripts are welcome. Completed research and research in progress are admissible. The language of the conference is English. A session includes a chairperson, three or four papers, and at least one discussant assigned to comment on each paper. Session chairs and discussants will be comprised of those presenting papers.
