A Non-Technical Overview of Statistical Models
Date: Dec 4, 2018, 9:30 – 12:00
Room: SB 126
Registration: here
Teacher: Rickard Enström
Description: Statistical models are essential to almost all academic work in the social sciences. In this seminar, the aim is to provide a non-technical overview of some of the often-used statistical models. The focus in this seminar will be on models of dependence. In doing so, the emphasis will be put on acquiring an intuitive understanding of statistical models and how they differ. It is therefore important to note that this seminar is intended as a non-technical overview of the world of statistical models. An elaborate understanding of the full set of issues will require further reading and exploration; however, this seminar will open up for such explorations. The discussion will be illustrated with hands-on examples of research work where different models have been used. These examples will encompass the use of both experimental and market data. Upon taking this seminar, students will have a greater understanding in judging features of data sets in their own empirical work and research and be able to navigate through the different options of statistical models that could be used.

The ‘Art’ and ‘Science’ of Getting Your Research Published
Date: Dec 4, 2018, 13:30 – 16:00
Room: SB 126
Registration: here
Teacher: Rickard Enström
Description: It is inevitably so that a successful academic career depends on getting your research published in international peer-reviewed journals. It is also so that, as a PhD candidate, a few publications may serve as an indicator of your potential for conducting independent academic research for possible employers. However, getting published is not easy, and it is more common than uncommon that one’s work will be rejected. In this seminar, we will discuss the nature of academic contributions, developing a strategic plan for your research, positioning and structuring of research papers, how to pick outlets for your work, and look at some of the pitfalls which are likely to yield a rejection of your paper by editors of academic journals. In addition, we will also discuss the changing landscape of academic publishing. Upon taking this seminar, students will have a better sense of the process of getting published and how to avoid unnecessary mistakes and, consequently, journal rejections.
