Propose a focused seminar
Present a study whose economic mechanism, data strategy, or causal interpretation could be improved.
PROPOSE A RESEARCH CONVERSATION
An open invitation. A focused research purpose.
ERS–WVSU welcomes researchers from across WVSU and beyond when their project offers room for economic insight, empirical improvement, or causal analysis. You do not need to arrive with a complete economics model.
01 / PATHWAYS TO PARTICIPATE
There are many ways
to contribute.
Participation is open across disciplines, with a clear economics or empirical-research fit.
Explore a research collaboration
Discuss an economic component that could strengthen an interdisciplinary project.
Develop methodological work
Share identification challenges, data questions, or empirical research plans.
Engage students in research
Explore potential collaboration on student research and the use of applied economic methods.
02 / RESEARCH INQUIRY
Propose a seminar or research collaboration.
A strong submission starts with your research question, identifies where economics or empirical methods might add value, and explains what kind of collaboration or critique you seek. Details of sensitive research ideas can remain private until roles and expectations are agreed.
1
Describe the research question
A working title and a brief description of the study.
2
Identify the economics or methods angle
Where could theory, data analysis, or causal inference add value?
3
Suggest a collaborative next step
Would a seminar, co-design discussion, or methods workshop help?
For sensitive or unpublished work: Share only a short nonconfidential summary at first. Detailed ideas can be discussed privately after agreeing on the scope of collaboration.
