Call for data presentations and data web page contributions
In its continuing effort to encourage data sharing, the NBER
International Finance and Macroeconomics (IFM) group is inviting
proposals for its fourth annual IFM Data Sources Project (IFMDS) that
will be held during the IFM Summer Institute. This workshop will
take place at 4pm on Monday, July 10, 2017 in Royal Sonesta Hotel in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
A maximum of 6 presentations will be selected. The presentations
will concern data sets that are suitable for broad use for research
on topics relevant for international finance and
macroeconomics. Original data sources are expected to be made freely
available subject to proper attribution. Presentations of official
and commercial data sources are also welcome, and should include
information on how to obtain access to the data as well as any
restrictions on the use of the data and any costs of obtaining the data.
The deadline for proposals for these presentation is March 20,
2017. Presentation proposals should be no longer than one page. The
proposal must include a brief description of the data source, an
explanation of why the data would be useful to a broad set of
researchers, and a reference to papers that have successfully used
these data. Please note that this data session is not a forum for
presenting original research.
We are also inviting submissions for the NBER IFM catalogue of data
sources. This webpage can be found at
http://papers.nber.org/data/international-finance/. A proposed
submission must follow the format on this site. Only entries deemed
appropriate for the page will be included. Entry submissions are
accepted on an on-going basis. However, if you would like your entry
to appear prior to the workshop on July 10, please submit it no later
than March 20.
Submissions for proposed presentations and data catalogue entries
should be sent to
http://papers.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI17IFMDS.
The format of the submission page is different this year. Your
submission will default to this workshop but you will have the option
to submit to others on the second page of the form.
We are looking forward to another informative data session.
