Two Quick Follow-Ups to Friday’s announcement from ICPSR regarding the ICPSR Summer Program, to underscore some fast-upcoming dates, and a (first) shameless plug of my own Spatial Econometrics workshop:
1) Scholarships (Scholarships page https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/sumprog/scholarships/index.html: see page also for info regarding a few other discounts) deadline:
March 28, i.e. MONDAY.
2) The first of the Short Courses (a list & descriptions etc. are here: https://myumi.ch/bRVr3) begin May 16 (and my Spatial Econometrics workshop, which I will shamelessly plug further below, begins June 6).

Spatial Econometrics: Empirical Analysis of Geospatial Association and Cross-Unit Interdependence
Instructor: Rob Franzese
Course dates: June 6-17, 2022
Course times: 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Eastern
Registration Fee: ICPSR Member=$1,800; ICPSR Non-member=$3,300
Spatial (i.e., geospatial or otherwise cross-unit, a.k.a. network) association and interdependence are ubiquitous throughout the social sciences, and beyond. That is, events or outcomes in one observational unit are almost always related to similar occurrences in other observational units. This is so for such diverse phenomena as disturbances and conflicts within and between nations; crime, health, and environmental outcomes; economic and other policies in political jurisdictions; consumer, investor, and producer choices in markets; individuals’ opinions and behavior in societies; and voting by citizens in elections or by legislators in legislatures. In contexts where this omnipresent cross-unit association (or correlation) arises from interdependence (or contagion), "standard" statistical methods (which assume independent observations) are inappropriate, and design-based methods of "nonparametric causal-inference" are (at best) inadequate. This workshop introduces strategies appropriate for identifying and estimating spatial processes, distinguishing spatial association from spatial interdependence, and for proper estimation and interpretation of processes involving interdependent observations, emphasizing spatial and spatiotemporal models of interdependent (contagious) continuous and limited outcomes.
The core aim of the workshop is to demonstrate how such spatial, i.e. geo-spatial or otherwise cross-unit, interdependence can be incorporated into empirical analysis most productively. Participants will learn how to: diagnose spatial-correlation patterns; estimate spatial-regression models; distinguish between different sources of spatial correlation (common exposure, contagion, and selection); and calculate and present the spatial and spatiotemporal effects that empirical models which incorporate interdependence imply. Methods to be covered—from specification and estimation of spatial models to inference and interpretation of spatial effects—include:
* measures and tests of spatial association (Moran’s I, etc.);
* models and methods for (exogenous) spatial correlation and spatial heterogeneity (e.g., geographically weighted regression (GWR), spatial-hierarchical random-component or multi-level models (S-MLM, and spatially lagged regressor (SLX) or spatial error models (SEM));
* instrumental-variable (including 2SLS and GMM) and maximum-likelihood (and Bayesian) estimators for models with (endogenous) spatial interdependence (spatially lagged dependent-variable models (SAR));
* multiple-source (SLX, SEM, SAR) and multiple-lag (multiple ‘W’) spatial models;
* spatial interdependence in models with limited and qualitative dependent-variables; and
* models for coevolutionary processes (i.e., processes with both spatial-cum-network interdependence and endogenous-connectivity/network-selection).
Applied (computer-lab) sessions are bilingual, with all exercises and code offered in both R and Stata (except in two contexts where useful code exists only in the one or the other).
Prerequisites: None. Although participants should be familiar with linear regression and models for qualitative/limited dependent variables (e.g., logit, probit, etc.), this workshop does not assume any prior knowledge of, or experience with, spatial statistics. Indeed, all necessary mathematical, statistical, geospatial-analytic, and spatial-econometric background will be reviewed as needed, albeit (obviously) very quickly.

DISCOUNTS:
1. Individuals currently affiliated with an ICPSR member institution <https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/membership/administration/institutions> receive a discount on their registration fees.
2. Discount for Returning ICPSR Summer Program Participants: If you participated in a previous ICPSR Summer Program, you will receive a 15% discount on your registration fee in this year's ICPSR Summer Program. This discount is available to anyone who took either four-week classes or short workshops in any ICPSR Summer Program, last year or earlier. The discount will be applied to the fees for both short workshops and the four-week sessions in the current year's ICPSR Summer Program. You don't have to do anything special to receive the discount. When you register, you will be asked about your previous participation in the ICPSR Summer Program. Upon verification of the information you provide, the discount will be applied to your fees automatically.

Subject: [POLMETH] Learn quantitative methods with the ICPSR Summer Program!
From the introductory to the advanced, our courses offer training to 1,000 participants every year, including graduate students and tenured faculty learning (or re-learning) a particular technique. Courses include:
• Machine Learning
• Quantitative Methods to Advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion • Methods for Better Measurement of Social Scientific Variables • Regression Analysis • Multilevel Models • Structural Equation Models ... over 70 workshops and lectures to choose from!
All of our courses are hybrid this summer. This means in-person or remote participation, with recorded workshops and lectures, allowing for synchronous or asynchronous learning.
Registration for the Four-Week Sessions and the Short Workshops is now open! You can see the full schedule for the four-week sessions and read about each course in the Four-Week Session portal: <https://myumi.ch/qAZQ2> https://myumi.ch/qAZQ2
Our Short Workshop portal has information on the dozens of one- to two-week workshops that focus on a specific topic: <https://myumi.ch/bRVr3> https://myumi.ch/bRVr3 < <https://myumi.ch/2DgeB> https://myumi.ch/2DgeB>
We offer more than 50 fee-waiver scholarships every year, including support for underrepresented students. To see a list of our scholarships and eligibility requirements, please visit our Scholarships page < <https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/sumprog/scholarships/index.html> https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/sumprog/scholarships/index.html>.
Scholarship applications are now open! Please have all materials submitted by *Monday, March 28*.
