This award provides funds to the Rochester Center for Economic Reearch at the University of Rochester the help purchase equipment which will be used to teach quantitative social sciences, specifically economics and political science. Students currently get little exposure to the quantitative aspects of economics and political science because of the lack of a centralized facility for this purpose. As a result, many do not have a very good idea of the nature of quantitative research in the social sciences. The funds from this award will allow the development of laboratory- based undergraduate education in this setting. Innovative classroom applications such as market experiments and model simulation, as well as the expansion of traditional applications in statistics and econometrics will be developed. This facility should serve as a model for similar facilities at other institutions. In addition, students will gain a better understanding of the nature of quantitative research in the social sciences, and will therefore be able to make more informed decisions about choosing careers in research and/or teaching. The grantee is matching this award with non-Federal sources.

该奖项为罗切斯特经济中心提供资金， 在罗切斯特大学的实习生帮助购买设备 它将被用来教授定量社会科学， 特别是经济学和政治学。 学生目前 很少接触经济学的定量方面， 政治科学，因为缺乏一个集中的设施， 这个目的。 因此，许多人并不知道 社会科学定量研究的本质。 的 这笔资金将用于开发实验室- 本科教育在此背景下 创新 课堂应用，如市场实验和模型 模拟，以及传统应用的扩展 统计学和计量经济学将得到发展。 这个设施 应作为其他类似设施的典范 机构职能体系 此外，学生将获得更好的 对社会科学定量研究性质的理解 科学，因此将能够使更多的知情 选择研究和/或教学职业的决定。 的 被授予人是匹配这个奖项与非联邦来源。
