Subject: NEMP, April 27
Dear Colleagues,
hi. The schedule of papers for the Nth annual Northeast Methodology
Program (NEMP) on Friday April 27 is set.
Lunch will be served about 11:45. Then we have 3 papers, with plenty
of time for discussion of each, some time for breaks between
papers, and lots of cold beer available afterwards.
***PLEASE RSVP IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING.***
11:30 - 1:00: Lunch
1:00 - 2:30: Jake Bowers, Harvard University, Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation, and University of Michigan
"Drug Safety and Deadlines: An Application of Prognostic
Scores, Propensity Scores, Full Matching and Permutation
Inference to Regulatory Regime Change at the FDA"
2:45 - 4:15: Kosuke Imai, Princeton
"Misunderstandings among Experimentalists and
Observationalists: Balance Test Fallacies in Causal Inference"
(Kosuke Imai, Gary King, and Elizabeth A. Stuart)
4:30 - 5:45 Jennifer Hill, Columbia
"Matching: Friend or Foe for Causal Inference"
6:30 or so: Many of us will mobilize for dinner
All events will take place at University Hall, 110 E. 14th Street
(between 3rd and 4th Avenues). Note that this is NOT the Politics
Department. This is within a block of Union Square Park, so your
best bet if arriving via train is to get the 4,5,6, or N, Q, R, W
to Union Square Park. [And if you like traveling east-west, there
is the L.] It is a perfectly nice walk from Penn Station.
And for those of you who are social creatures, or geographically challenged,
if you stop by the Politics department at 19 W. 4th street around 11:15 a
bunch of us will walk up.
If you are planning to attend, please RSVP to Tanisha Johnson-Campbell
([log in to unmask]). Please let her know if you
will be coming in time for lunch.
Hope to see lots of you there,
-jonathan nagler
