NEWEPS-23 (Fall 2024)

NEWEPS is a working group that brings together scholars who use cutting-edge empirical methods to study the political economy of governance, representation, development, and conflict. NEWEPS focuses on research that uses rigorous, creative methods to do micro-level analysis of key questions in comparative political economy and international relations. Field experiments, quasi-experiments, and innovative uses of administrative, remote-sensed, historical, or other behavioral data are of particular interest. 

The “conference” section of the NEWEPS website explains how conference meetings function and how papers are selected to balance various considerations (paper potential, upcoming job market paper, previous presentations and participation, and demographic and institutional diversity) to maintain a strong and inclusive NEWEPS community.

The conference will be hosted in person at Columbia University in the afternoon of Friday, October 4, 2024. We gratefully acknowledge financial support for the conference from Columbia’s Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP).

The workshop deadlines are as follows:

September 6, 2024: Submission deadline for paper proposals

September 13, 2024: Notification of accepted papers

September 27, 2024: Final papers are circulated

October 4, 2024: Conference

If you’re interested in submitting a paper, please fill out this google form.

We’d greatly appreciate it if you could help us spread the word by circulating this call within your department/other relevant departments within your university.

Thank you so much, we are looking forward to it!
