RWI – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research and Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf jointly organize the first Studi-BUCH Interdisciplinary Text-As-Data Workshop. The workshop is aimed at researchers from any field who are already investigating or would like to investigate a topic in education research using text data. The two-day event consists of a workshop with regular presentations complemented by focus sessions in which new research ideas and datasets are presented. Computer scientists and other experts will be present to give feedback, exchange ideas, and provide opportunities to collaborate.

Given the special format, we invite two types of submissions:

• If you already use quantitative text analysis methods, please submit a working paper or an extended abstract. Your submission must include your research question, data and methods, and – if available – your key findings.
• If you are not yet employing quantitative text analysis but have access to textual data that can be used to answer relevant questions in the field of Education, please send a data report of up to two pages describing the dataset(s) and your research questions and ideas.

We do not charge a workshop fee, but participants must pay for their accommodation and travel expenses.

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2023

Please e-mail your paper, abstract, or data report to: Friederike.Hertweck@rwi-essen.de.

The one-day workshop allows young labor economists to present
and discuss their recent research. It provides a forum to meet and exchange with
fellow doctoral students, post-docs, and professors from the field of labor
economics. The workshop targets PhD students and aims to facilitate
exchange between junior and senior academics. This year, we are happy to
announce that Hanna Schwank (University of Bonn) and Olle Folke (Uppsala
University) will be our excellent guest speakers at the workshop.

We are looking forward to submissions from PhD students from Berlin and
Brandenburg working on topics in labor economics from a theoretical, empirical
or experimental perspective.

The workshop will take place in the friendly atmosphere of the RWI Berlin Office
(RWI – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research) on April 28, 2023.
If you want to present your work, please submit an abstract or a draft of your
paper by March 19 to workshop@labor-research.net. The decision on your
submission will be communicated by March 31, 2023.

You are also very welcome to attend the workshop without presenting your work.
Please register for the workshop via email: workshop@labor-research.net.
