3rd Annual Text As Data Conference
October 5-6, 2012
This year to be held at Harvard University, we once again
bring together inter-disciplinary researchers from political
science, computer science and linguistics to investigate new
approaches to utilizing text in political science research.
Recent developments in digital archiving as well as breakthroughs
in automatic language-processing methodologies are creating
unprecedented opportunities for searching, categorizing, and
extracting political information from text. Researchers from
various fields are beginning explore these opportunities,
but progress has been hampered by the typical problems of
inter-disciplinary research endeavors: researchers with domain
expertise may lack a deep understanding of appropriate methods,
while methodological experts may lack a deep appreciation
of the research questions that such methods may help to address.
The purpose of this gathering is to continue efforts to bridge
this gap.

work in the field of political economy.
Hosted
in conjunction with The University of Chicago Booth School
of Business
This high profile conference
brings together scholars interested in integrating business
environment issues and business strategy. Conference presentations
will explore the interrelationships between the business strategies
of firms and the social, legal, and political environment
in which they operate and will span a wide range of research
perspectives and methodologies including formal theoretical
modeling, quantitative research drawing upon historical or
archival data, surveys, or publicly available data, and qualitative
research.

September 8-9, 2007
Values-Driven Judgment and Reasoning
April 6-7, 2007
Our intention is to bring together around 40 scholars with research and teaching interests in issues related to values. The motivation for the conference stems from a perception that a common interest has spawned several separate lines of research that appear to address the same general phenomenon from a variety of different directions. We hope this conference will examine the key theoretical and empirical issues these perspectives share and facilitate direct communication between scholars. Examples of relevant questions include: How do strongly held values influence perception, construal, and judgment? What is the relationship between values, cognitive biases, and heuristic processing? What is the role of affect in the formation, maintenance, and functioning of values? How does culture affect the acquisition, transmission, and expression of values?

Business
and Ethics Conference
May 19-20, 2006
The intention was to bring together scholars with both research
and teaching interests in ethical issues confronting managers
and business organizations. The motivation for the conference
derives less from the recent and very public series of corporate
scandals, and more from the increased academic interest in
integrating the insights of social psychology with more standard
economic theory. In particular, we investigated questions
regarding managerial decision-making when individuals are
not governed exclusively by material incentives. Examples
of such questions include: How should managers design incentives
when agents are motivated at least in part by considerations
of fairness and trust? What happens to decision-making when
the individuals affected by a decision hold heterogeneous
ethical values?
