The Second Quantitative China Studies Seminar
September 7, 2018 New York University We are pleased to announce that the Second Quantitative China Studies Seminar (QCSS-2) will be held on September 7, 2018, at 19 West 4th Street (NYU Washington Square Campus). The Quantitative China Studies Seminar (QCSS), initially co-organized by New York University (NYU), Columbia University, and Princeton University, is a working group that brings together scholars of Chinese political economy from various places. The first QCSS conference (QCSS-1) was held by NYU last year and five scholars from Cornell University, Princeton University, Columbia University, MIT and NYU were invited to present their work. In this year’s conference, we continue to welcome paper submission broadly associated with issues regarding the development, governance, economy, society, politics and public policy of China. We especially welcome those research projects employing cutting-edge empirical methods or game-theoretical modelling techniques to answer China-related questions. We expect to have 4-6 papers to be presented in QCSS-2 this year and each paper will receive a detailed discussion from at least one faculty member of Department of Politics at NYU. (The discussants in QCSS-1 includes: Prof. Adam Przeworski, Prof. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, Prof. Shanker Satyanath, Prof. David Denoon, Prof. James Hsiung, and Prof. Arturas Rozenas) We are now accepting paper proposals to the seminar. For submission, please send the title and abstract of your paper, as well as the CV of the presenter to the conference coordinator, Zhenhuan Lei ([email protected]), by 12a.m. (EST) July 15th, 2018. We will notify authors of selected papers by early August, and if selected, presenters are invited to submit their complete paper to us by August 24, 2018. To ensure the quality of our conference, we will adopt double-blind review for most submissions. The coordinator will invite no less than three reviewers to read the paper abstract (or the complete paper) according to its topic. Based on the reviews, authors of the best papers will be invited to present at New York University. To make the reviewing process more efficient, we highly recommend the authors to state clearly in your paper abstract (or full text) the research question, main research method, main conclusion and the paper's contribution to relevant literature. The conference does not charge any registration fee and will be able to reimburse the travel costs for student presenters who have economic difficulty in commuting to New York. We will provide food and two-day accommodation (September 6-7) for the presenters. For more information about QCSS, please visit https://www.qcssnyu.com or contact the seminar coordinator Zhenhuan Lei ([email protected]). We look forward to receiving your papers and meeting you at the seminar! QCSS-2 Organizing Team Department of Politics New York University |
