Call for Papers: 19th Annual Symposium on
Statistical Challenges in eCommerce Research (SCECR)
We cordially invite you to submit a 2-page extended abstract to the 19th annual Symposium on Statistical Challenges in Electronic Commerce Research (SCECR). This SCECR intends to be the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be; and will take place in Bogotá, Colombia June 8-10, 2023. We are soliciting papers with the goal of hosting a 100% in-person conference.
The theme for the symposium in 2023 will be "IT Beyond the Artifact." The downstream and upstream implications of the Internet, AI, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Blockchain, and more have created rich opportunities for research that extends well beyond traditional conceptualizations of the IT artifact. Technology and its applications in diverse contexts can be used to generate tremendous economic, social, and financial value, leading to many research questions that were otherwise unimaginable just a few years ago. The goal of this conference is to gather a rich body of interdisciplinary scholars interested in the robust application of empirical and analytical methods to tackle these research questions. Scholars with early-stage and risky work are particularly encouraged to submit, so as to receive feedback from the diverse audience that constitutes the SCECR community.
We welcome submissions from a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to: electronic markets, digital platforms, policy design, online social exchange, FinTech, digitization of products and services, and virtually any data-driven social or business related phenomena. We welcome methodological contributions related to statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, econometrics, agent-based modeling, and other empirical approaches. Submissions should highlight the statistical and empirical challenges that arise from these approaches. Additional details can be found on the symposium website (http://scecr.com).
The deadline for submission is March 1, 2023, and notifications of paper decisions will be sent by March 31, 2023. Authors should submit a two-page extended abstract (excluding references, figures, and tables) that outlines the research and the corresponding empirical challenges. Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scecr2023
Advisory Notes:
· At this point, SCECR 2023 will be an in-person conference and limited to those who are able to attend the conference in person. At least one person from the author team for accepted papers will be expected to attend the conference in person.
· If the COVID-19 situation should once again deteriorate, to the point that an in-person meeting becomes infeasible, the potential move to a hybrid or online conference will be considered.
