"Matched Employer-Employee
Data: Theory and Applications"
The
School will take place on the day before
the start of the
Simposio de la Asociación
Española de Economía, SAEe
(13 December 2023), and on the morning of the first day
of SAEe (14 December 2023) in Salamanca. The
first three editions of the SAEe PhD School took
place in Alicante in 2019, Barcelona in 2021 and Valencia in 2022. Therefore,
we are making a new call for applicants
for 2023 SAEe PhD School.
The School aims to present prominent researchers who will offer
a broad perspective of their research areas. The School will also feature a
session on early career advice for PhD students; on topics such as teaching, surviving
the PhD, research presentations, choice of research topics, and the like.
The number of available places is limited. Applicants
must submit their academic CV (which should include contact details of academic
advisors or sponsors) by September 5th to phd.school.sea@gmail.com. Admission to the
School will be based on academic merit. Applicants with a paper accepted to be
presented at Simposio will be given priority. The
deadline to submit papers to the Simposio is June 26th.
To submit a paper to Simposio, please follow: http://www.asesec.org/simposio/call_for_papers.html.
Participants of the PhD School need to register to the Simposio. The Spanish Economic Association will award 20
fellowships for students participating in the School. The fellowships will
cover the registration fees for the selected candidates. Admission to the
School and awarded fellowships will be announced on September 20th.
Short Description
The
School will have three sessions. On Wednesday, the first session will delve
into the econometric analysis of matched employer-employee data. The course
will cover the fundamental tools and techniques employed in analyzing these
datasets, encompassing both theoretical aspects and practical applications. Key
areas of focus include investigating trends in labor market inequality,
studying gender gaps, and assessing employer market power.
The
second session of the course will focus on the main administrative dataset that
exists in Spain for conducting research in labor economics: the MCVL (Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales - Continuous Sample of Working Lives). In this
session, we will first describe the dataset and learn how to obtain and prepare
it for use. We will then discuss its potential and limitations for research, as
well as existing applications.
On
Thursday, the third session will be devoted to the academic job market and new teaching
practices. We will have two activities. A talk on practical advice to succeed
in the academic job market and a hands-on session about using experiments as an
effective teaching tool. We will introduce classEx, a free online platform;
and Experiencing Economics, a free online book as
part of the CORE-econ project. During this session
you will have the opportunity to experience both the student’s and the
instructor’s perspective.
