ANNOUNCEMENT

********************



The Research Institute for the Evaluation of Public Policies based in 
Trento -- in collaboration with TSM (Trentino School of Management) - 
organizes the second edition of the IRVAPP Spring School on Fundamentals 
and Methods for Impact Evaluation of Public Policies for a limited 
number of Ph.D. students and researchers (max. 20 participants). The 
course is designed to be of particular benefit to Ph.D students and 
researchers in the Social Sciences, Economics and Statistics, willing to 
know how to use microdata to inform policy making.



The course will run over 6 consecutive days of theoretical and practical 
sessions from March 1 to March 6, 2010.

The venue will be the Conference Centre Panorama, Sardagna, Trento -- Italy.



The level of knowledge required are introductory courses in statistics 
and econometrics. At the very least a working knowledge of OLS 
regression and multivariate analysis is expected. Although the exercises 
will be guided, basic familiarity with the software Stata is recommended.



To enroll, interested candidates are invited to email a one page CV 
together with a one page summary of their Ph.D. programme, subject of 
their thesis and research interests, to dr. Rossella Bozzon 
(bozzon at irvapp.it) by February 1, 2010. Candidates might be admitted to 
the course depending on the degree of affinity between the contents of 
the course and their research interests. The final decision about the 
list of participants will be made by IRVAPP by February 5, 2010.
