The Industrial Organization Society (IOS) was founded in 1972 to promote research on antitrust policy, regulatory policy, and competition and market power in real-world markets.
The original aim of the IOS was to promote research on antitrust policy, regulatory policy, and competition, and market power in real-world markets. It was founded in 1972 by Stanley Boyle and Willard Mueller. Since 2003, the IOS has sponsored an annual International Industrial Organization Conference in order to accommodate the needs and interests of the burgeoning field.
The Review of Industrial Organization edited by Larry White, is the official journal of the IOS.
The 21st annual International Industrial Organization Conference will be held in-person from April 21 – 23, 2023 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.
