INTRODUCTION

NEWEPS is a small 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.

Our eleventh meeting will be a half-day event held on September 7, 2018 at NYU. Limited travel resources will be available for out-of-town presenters only.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the registration form.
