EAGER: Applied Econometrics Laboratory and Summer Economics Research Program

HBCU DCL， EARGER：应用计量经济学实验室和夏季经济学研究项目该研究项目将通过开展为期六周的应用计量经济学密集研讨会，为传统黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）的研究基础设施的发展做出贡献，在该研讨会上，学生将完成一篇研究论文的初稿，并将其提交给指定的经济学期刊发表。尽管非洲裔美国人在2016年占美国人口的13.3%，但他们在当年仅占美国经济学院系的1.7%。这部分是由于供给方面的因素，因为与非裔美国人在人口中所占的比例和其他种族相比，非裔美国人获得的经济学博士学位越来越少。本科经济学研究经历可能是对经济学研究生学习的兴趣和成功的最好预测。哈佛大学仍然是非洲裔美国本科生的主要来源，拟议中的应用计量经济学研讨会将重点关注哈佛大学本科生的研究经验，将在这些本科生中建立研究能力，从而成为经济学研究生项目的管道。除了增加研究生的潜在供应外，该研讨会还将在HBCU建立研究基础设施，并加强学生和教师之间的研究合作。不继续攻读博士课程的参与者将学习有价值的技能，这些技能将使他们成为经济分析师。这项研究项目的结果将导致经济学和经济学院系的非裔美国人博士人数的增加，从而使经济学专业普遍多样化，尤其是经济学院系。该研究项目将邀请来自HBCUs的学生参加为期六周的应用计量经济学研究强化研讨会，以提高他们的实证研究技能。研讨会将以课堂学习和实验室经验为特色。研讨会参与者将与莫尔豪斯学院（Morehouse College）两位经验丰富的经济学教授合作。重点将放在研究部分，参与者将开发和撰写研究论文的草稿，他们将在稍后修改并提交给参考期刊以供发表考虑。本次研讨会将强调在经济学研究中使用STATA。这些能力不仅有助于那些将继续获得经济学博士学位的人，而且还将为那些可能在获得学士学位后选择作为研究分析师/助理工作的参与者提供宝贵的技能。这个研究项目的结果不仅会增加拥有经济学博士学位的非裔美国人的数量；但也将有助于使美国的STEM劳动力多样化，并最终加强美国经济。

HBCU DCL, EARGER: Applied Econometrics Laboratory and Summer Economics Research ProgramThis research project will contribute to the development of research infrastructure in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by running an intensive six-week workshop in applied econometrics in which students complete a first draft of a research paper they will submit to a referred economics journal for publication. Despite African Americans making 13.3% of the U.S. population in 2016, they constituted only 1.7% of the economics faculties in the U.S. in that year. This is partly due to supply side factors as African Americans are increasingly earning fewer PhDs in economics compared to their share of the population and to other racial groups. Undergraduate research experience in economics is probably the best predictor of interest and success in pursuing graduate studies in economics. The proposed applied econometrics workshop focusing on undergraduate research experience at an HBCU, which is still a major source of African American undergraduates, will build research capacity among these undergraduates, hence serve as a pipeline to graduate programs in economics. In addition to increasing the potential supply of graduate students, the workshop will also build research infrastructure at an HBCU as well as enhance research collaboration among students and faculty. Participants who do not go on to PhD programs will learn valuable skills that will equip them to be employed as economic analysts. The results of this research project will lead to increases in the number of African American PhDs in economics and on economics faculties, thus diversifying the economics profession generally and economics faculty particularly. This research project will bring students from HBCUs for a six-week intensive workshop in applied econometrics research in a bid to increase their empirical research skills. The workshop will feature both classroom learning as well as laboratory experience. Workshop participants will work with two Morehouse College economics faculty who are experienced empirical researchers. The focus will be on the research component with participants developing and writing drafts of a research paper they will revise later and submit to a referred journal for publication consideration. The use of STATA for economics research will be emphasized in this workshop. These competencies will not only help those who will continue to obtain PhDs in economics but will also provide valuable skills to participants who may choose to work as research analysts/assistants after their baccalaureate degrees. The results of this research project will not only increase the number of African Americans with PhDs in economics; but will also serve to diversify the STEM workforce in the U.S. and ultimately strengthen the U.S. economy.
