Workshop
Theory in Methods

New York City
Past Event
Closed to the Public
Recent scholarship in political science highlights the value of theory and models in various aspects of empirical research from measurement to estimation. Theoretical models help political scientists define quantities of interest, identify causal estimates, understand mechanisms, and evaluate counterfactuals; and are thus indispensable for empirical political science, and more broadly social science research. This workshop brings together academics from different subfields of political science whose work bridge the gap between theory and methodology.
