Political Science Program: EITM Competition IIIa: Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models Summer Institute

从2003年夏季开始，将在圣路易斯华盛顿大学校园内提供四个培训机构（2003-2006年），以弥合正式分析和实证分析之间的鸿沟。 目标是推进方法和模型的研究，并扩大具有尖端专业知识的研究界。 每个NSF EITM暑期学院由四个为期一周的研讨会组成-一个基础研讨会和三个高级研讨会。高级研讨会中的讲师和主题在该计划的四年期间轮换。 所有研讨会都在Weidenbaum经济，政府和公共政策中心以及政治学和经济学系的会议室举行。每个高级研讨会都涉及政治学或政治经济学实质性领域中政治的正式模型与实证研究方法之间的关系。正式的模型涉及跨度博弈理论，空间理论，社会和公共选择理论，一般均衡模型，自适应学习模型，行为经济模型，以及混合方法，如基于代理的建模。 实证方法包括基本和先进的计量经济学技术和空间模型。参加NSF EITM暑期学院的学生也可以参加新机构社会科学中心暑期课程的研讨会，该中心将有一个补充的时间表。研讨会的教员来自华盛顿大学和其他几所大学的教员。参加NSF EITM夏季研究所的华盛顿大学教师包括兰德尔·卡尔弗特、约翰·凯里、李·爱泼斯坦、安德鲁·马丁、加里米勒、诺曼·斯科菲尔德、伊泰·塞内德和史蒂文·史密斯。非华盛顿大学的教师包括查尔斯卡梅隆，基思凯什比尔，凯文奎因，托马斯帕尔弗里和里克威尔逊。研讨会的嘉宾包括珍妮特·博克斯·斯特芬斯迈尔、埃里克·布朗、约翰·费雷赫恩、西蒙·杰克曼、丽贝卡·莫顿、基思普尔和肯尼斯·谢普勒。 将通过竞争招募25名学生参与者。 学生将被提供校内住宿，并将提供交通和住宿补贴。 一个由华盛顿大学教师组成的EITM委员会将管理该项目。

Beginning in the summer of 2003, four training institutes (2003-2006) on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis will be offered to bridge the divide between formal and empirical analysis. The goal is to advance the study of methods and models and to expand the research community with cutting-edge expertise. Each NSF EITM Summer Institutes is comprised of four one-week seminars --- a basic seminar and three advanced seminars. The instructors and the subjects addressed in the advanced seminars rotate over the four-year period of the program. All seminars are held in the conference rooms of the Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government, and Public Policy and the departments of political science and economics. Each advanced seminar concerns the relationship between formal models of politics and empirical research methods in a substantive field of political science or political economy. The formal models addressed span game theory, spatial theory, social and public choice theories, general equilibrium models, adaptive learning models, behavioral economic models, and hybrid approaches such as agent-based modeling. Empirical methods include basic and advanced econometric techniques and spatial models. Students attending the NSF EITM Summer Institute also may attend seminars in the summer program of the Center for New Institutional Social Science that will have a complementary schedule. The faculty for the seminars is drawn from Washington University faculty and from faculty from several other universities. The Washington University faculty participating in the NSF EITM Summer Institute include Randall Calvert, John Carey, Lee Epstein, Andrew Martin, Gary Miller, Norman Schofield, Itai Sened, and Steven Smith. The non-Washington University faculty instructors include Charles Cameron, Keith Krehbiel, Kevin Quinn, Thomas Palfrey, and Rick Wilson. Seminar guests include Janet Box-Steffensmeier, Eric Brown, John Ferejohn, Simon Jackman, Rebecca Morton, Keith Poole, and Kenneth Shepsle. 25 student participants will be recruited on a competitive basis. Students will be offered on-campus housing and will be provided travel and lodging subsidies. An EITM committee comprised of Washington University faculty will administer the program.
