Welcome to the Bonser Speaker Series. This series honored Charles Bonser, the founding Dean of the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Bonser’s generous support provided the Center for Cultural Affairs with the opportunity to host speakers from Indiana University and beyond, to give talks on cultural economics research. The goal of the speaker series was to highlight researchers doing rigorous and objective research in cultural affairs, and share useful knowledge with the arts and cultural sector.

Imke Reimers is an associate professor of economics at Northeastern University. She received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Minnesota in 2013, and she spent a year in the digitization and copyright initiative at the National Bureau of Economic Research before becoming an assistant professor at Northeastern. She is broadly interested in the industrial organization of digital markets, information, and intellectual property. Her research, which has been published in top journal in economics and management science, mainly focuses on two specific questions: 1) how does intellectual property policy affect access to information and cultural goods; and 2) how does information technology affect consumer and firm decisions as well as the functioning and efficiency of markets?
