INTRODUCTION
NEWEPS is a small working group that brings together scholars who use cutting-edge empirical methods to study the political economy of governance, development and conflict. NEWEPS focuses on research that uses rigorous, creative methods to do micro-level analysis of key questions in comparative politics and international relations. Field experiments, quasi-experiments, and innovative uses of spatial data are of particular interest. In addition, NEWEPS encourages research answering interesting historical political economy questions using observational data.
Our tenth meeting will be a half-day event held on April 27, 2018 at UPenn. Limited travel resources will be available for out-of-town presenters only.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the registration form here [disactivated].
