NEWEPS is a small but growing 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 Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, in the afternoon of Friday, October 13, 2023. The workshop deadlines are as follows:
September 5, 2023: Submission deadline for paper proposals
September 15, 2023: Notification of accepted papers
September 29, 2023: Submission deadline for final versions of accepted papers
October 6, 2023: Final papers are circulated
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’re looking forward to hosting you in Cambridge!
