The NUS Department of Economics hosted the 2021 Asia Pacific Industrial Organization Conference, APIOC, on the 13^th and 14^th of December. Julian Wright served as Program Chair. The conference was scheduled to be held in Singapore in 2020 but was postponed and eventually held virtually due to global travel restrictions.

The conference included sessions on networks, search theory, e-commerce, environmental regulation and empirical studies of collusion.

The keynote speakers were Steven T. Berry and Dirk Bergemann from Yale University.
