Description:

Research on measurement and methods is important to the internal validity of empirical research. In 2015, Yale and IPA organized a meeting to discuss how to encourage methods and measurement research. This year the Global Poverty Research Lab is convening a follow-up meeting of interested researchers at Northwestern University.

The objectives of the meeting include:

1. Facilitate an informal conversation about measurement and methods by sharing work in progress and working papers.
2. Discuss strategies and develop teams to leverage retrospective and/or prospective measurement or methodological research using IPA or existing survey data
3. Prioritize research themes which teams of researchers or a research methods initiative should focus.

This is an invite-only event. Questions about this event should be directed to Susan Dennehy, susan.dennehy@northwestern.edu.
