JILAEE is pleased to announce an eWorkshop on Field Experiments in Economics on February 1, 2022.

The objective of the workshop is to provide an introduction to designing and implementing field experiments in economics. This day is targeted at graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty, and other early career economists in Latin America.

Early Career Scholars Workshop on Field Experiments (February 1, 2022):

Recent years have seen an enormous increase and interest in research using experimental methods in the field to address questions across a broad range of topics in economics. Yet for early career researchers, carrying out a field experiment may be daunting.

The workshop will offer a crash course on designing, implementing, and analyzing field experiments. It will show the potential gains from using field experiments to test economic theory, make causal inference, and inform optimal policies. Participants will leave the workshop with the tools to successfully conduct their own field experiments, and will have the opportunity to present their research ideas and receive feedback.

Registration

We especially encourage applications from graduate students and early career economists from (or interested in doing research in) Latin America. There is no registration fee for this workshop. Depending on interest we may need to cap numbers.
