Economics of Media Bias

Research Network Economics of Media Bias

Over the past decade, economists have been working increasingly on various kinds of biased coverage. The Research Network Economics of Media Bias – which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) – brings together the different perspectives, approaches, and methods that can be found in the area. Moreover, it aims to support and integrate young researchers by connecting them with more experienced economists. To discuss ideas and current research projects, the network organizes annual workshops at alternating locations:

  • 1st Economics of Media Bias Workshop, June 25-26, 2015 in Hamburg (photos)
  • 2nd Economics of Media Bias Workshop, February 16-17, 2017 in Lausanne
  • 3rd Economics of Media Bias Workshop, February 15-16, 2018 in Cologne (photo)
  • 4th Economics of Media Bias Workshop, February 21-22, 2019 in Berlin
  • 5th Economics of Media Bias Workshop, March 31-April 1, 2022 in Berlin
