********************************************************************************
In today's economy, information technology (IT) has enabled firms to gather and share extremely detailed information from suppliers, consumers, partners as well as competitors. As a consequence "big data" has emerged as the next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity in a wide range of industries. There are numerous aspects of big data such as data driven decision-making, the use of extremely detailed information and IT innovations in business and society that are sufficiently unique to warrant new research that improves our understanding of their economics. Accordingly, the theme for 23rd annual WISE is "Big 
Data: Information Technology and Economics."

Submitting research-in-progress: Authors should submit extended abstracts of their work in progress that are no more than 6 pages in length (single-spaced, 12 pt font, 1 inch margins) including figures, tables and references. These submissions will be evaluated based on the potential research contribution and the ability to stimulate interest and discussion at the conference. Proposed work should be sufficiently complete by the time of the conference. 

Submitting completed but unpublished research: Authors should submit a current draft of a completed working paper. The paper should not have been accepted for publication at the time of submission.
