The School of Economics at the University of East Anglia, UK, is pleased to announce its fifth annual conference “Contests: Theory and Evidence” to be held on Thursday 27 June and Friday 28 June 2019, in Norwich, UK. This year the conference will celebrate the 70th birth anniversary year of Prof Luis Corchon (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid).

This year we intend to build on this success, providing again a world leading event in this field.
