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 fifth annual IFM Data Sources Project (IFMDS) that
will be held during the IFM Summer Institute. This workshop will
take place on Thursday, July 12, 2018 in Royal Sonesta Hotel in
Cambridge, Massachusetts beginning after the IFM workshop adjourns.
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 19,
2018. 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 12, please submit it no later
than March 19.
Submissions for proposed presentations and data catalogue entries
should be submitted
via
http://papers.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=SI18IFMDS.
We are looking forward to another informative data session.
