The Consumer Search and Switching Cost Workshop is dedicated to showcasing studies on the research frontier that examine the implications of consumer search and switching costs for market outcomes. Researchers from any discipline, using either theoretical or empirical methodologies are welcome to submit their work for consideration. This now-annual conference was established in 2009 and travels the world with a different host institution each year. We are delighted to have its 15th edition at ESMT Berlin in 2026.
