About the Session

The Microeconomics that underly Display Advertising

This session will cover recent trends in research on the economics of advertisement markets that are characterised by rapid advancements in the technology used to allocate and deliver ads. The focus will be on the ways in which economists conceptualise and model advertising markets, and on how they are using these tools to think about the future evolution of the marketplace and the implications of emerging technologies for the publishing industry more broadly.
