Abstract: Disseminating research results through academic conferences is important for scientific progress. We shed light on this process and on research in IO using data from five annual conferences of the European Association for Research in Industrial Economics (EARIE). Our data has the advantage that we observe the grades that each submission received from two members of the scientific committee, and also observe whether, where, and when submitted papers were pub- lished, and how many citations published papers have received. Among other things, we find disagreements between reviewers about grades in almost half of the cases, though large disagree- ments occurred in only 6% of the cases. Between 40% 50% of the submitted papers remain unpublished years after the conference and those that are published, take over 3 years to get published. Presentation at the conference is associated with a higher likelihood of publishing in an IO journal, although only 19% of the published papers are in IO journals. Empirical papers and co-authored papers are more likely to get published and get more citations when published. Accepted papers receive more citations when published and publications in economics journals receive substantially fewer citations than publications in adjacent fields like entrepreneurship and finance.
