Hello:

This is an advance notice for a conference on American politics at MIT this fall.

Please join us on Friday October 28, 2011 for a one-day conference on new research in American Politics. Details (and another announcement) will follow later this summer, but please let me know if you are interested in attending. 

It should be noted that this conference is for faculty only. Unfortunately, we do not have the space or funding to invite graduate students.

Papers will be presented by the following scholars:

Jowei Chen, The University of Michigan, "Voter Income and the Mobilizing Effect of Distributive Benefits."

Justin Grimmer, Stanford University, "Appropriators not Statesmen: The Distorting Effects of Electoral Incentives on Congressional Representation."

Jacob Montgomery, Washington University, "The Party Edge: Consultant-Candidate Networks in American Political Parties."

Eleanor Powell, Yale University, "The Next Frontier: Congressional Fundraising Event."

Rocío Titiunik, The University of Michigan, "Using Regression Discontinuity to Uncover the Personal Incumbency Advantage."

Hope you can make it!

Adam
