Camp Econometrics XIII (pr)
The Gideon Putnam
The Center for Policy Research (CPR) conducts interdisciplinary research and related activities in social sciences and public policy, including aging and health studies, education finance and policy, public finance, social welfare, poverty, and income security, urban and regional studies, and econometrics methodology. Faculty work on a variety of research grants related to public policy, which involve graduate students as assistants and consult with government agencies and other institutions concerned with the issues they are studying;The Maxwell School is a graduate school of social science with a unique multidisciplinary character that cuts across traditional departmental lines. At Maxwell, theory and practice are regarded with equal seriousness: the barriers that divide academic disciplines from one another and from the larger world of public life are routinely breached by the wide-ranging scholarly and educational activities of an outstanding faculty and an exceptionally cosmopolitan student body
Camp Econometrics is a gathering of econometricians and empirical economists whose successful goals are: (1) Bring together a group of econometricians/empirical economists and guests of host universities to discuss issues in econometrics, both applied and theoretical; (2) Present papers for comments by participants; (3) Stimulate student interest in econometrics; (4) Help students develop their technical presentation skills by encouraging the students of host universities to participate in the meetings, contribute to the poster session and present papers. This year's Camp will be held at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs, NY. For more information, please contact Katrina Wingle at 315-443-9040.
