| | Summer at ERIM begins with eight advanced courses. Register now! | | | | | | | | ERIM SUMMER SCHOOL 2019 | | We are happy to inform you that summer at ERIM begins with eight short summer school courses. Registration is now open! These advanced doctoral-level courses are open to graduate students (Research Master and PhD), researchers and professionals within and beyond the Netherlands, who want to improve their data analysis skills or competences in the specific field of knowledge. Please note that the number of participants per course is limited, therefore we advise you to register as soon as possible. Within the ERIM Summer School 2019, you can choose from the following courses:
| | | | | | Methods Stumblers: Pragmatic Solutions to Everyday Challenges in Behavioral Research | |
| By Professor Uri Simonsohn, 26 to 28 June 2019 This PhD-level course focuses on issues that (i) behavioral researchers are likely to encounter as they conduct research, but (ii) may struggle to figure out independently by consulting a textbook or published article. Topics meet this second criterion for one of four reasons: 1. They are technically challenging 2. There isn't yet consensus among methodologists about them and hence a behavioral researcher will encounter different recommendations on how to proceed depending on the source that's consulted 3. There is high degree of consensus among methodologists, but the ideas have not yet become mainstream among behavioral researchers 4. There is high degree of consensus among methodologists but such consensus may be premature and behavioral scientists may be better off not following it. This set will be obviously controversial. | | | | | | | | Necessary Condition Analysis | | By Professor Jan Dul, 18 June 2019 Necessary (but not sufficient) conditions are widespread in real life and therefore relevant to various research areas, such as management, business research, sociology, and psychology. But until recently no technique was available to identify necessary conditions in datasets. Traditional (regression based) data analysis techniques fail to do so, even though they are frequently applied for exactly that matter. Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) is a new technique that can do the job (Dul 2016. Dul et al. 2018). | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | Topics in FinTech | | By Professor David Yermack, 19 to 21 June 2019
This course will survey academic research in the emerging area of FinTech, an interdisciplinary field which studies the application of Information Technology to the Finance area. We will survey the foundational literature of cryptocurrency, blockchains, smart contracts, consensus protocols, and related regulatory issues. Applications of FinTech in areas such as corporate finance, central banking, investment management, real estate, supply chain management, and personal finance will be studied. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Modeling | | By Dr Ioannis Evangelidis, 24 & 25 June 2019 In this course you will learn how to conduct and interpret the results of mediation, moderation, and conditional process analyses. Mediation describes the case where an independent variable X influences another variable M (mediator), which in turn influences the dependent variable. Moderation describes the case where the effect of the independent variable X on the dependent variable Y changes across different levels of another variable M (moderator). Conditional process models combine mediation with moderation. This course is targeted to any person doing social science research that wants to learn how to test for mediation and moderation in his or her data. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | IFPSM/IPSERA Summer School on Purchasing and Supply Management Research | | By Professor Finn Wynstra, 25 to 28 June 2019 In this edition of the PSM Summer school, the programme will consist of two elements. First, the presentation and review of ongoing research of participants. This may be either a research proposal, or a single study/paper. Second, senior international faculty will present ongoing work on selected, current research topics, sharing with participants their ideas on defining and implementing innovative research topics and methods. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | Doing Qualitative Research | | By Dr Richard E. Ocejo, 1 to 3 July 2019 This course provides an overview of qualitative research and gives students hands-on experience and practical guidance for conducting their own projects. It specifically focuses on two elements of qualitative research: 1) project design and implementation, including such topics as choosing cases, getting a sample, asking research questions, and using theory; and 2) collecting and analyzing data, including making observations, conducting interviews, and data coding. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | Data Visualization, Web Scraping, and Text Analysis in R | | By Dr Jason Roos, 1 & 2 July 2019 Many researchers rely on data that are obtained from a wide variety of online sources, including web sites, social media, and external data providers. This course introduces you to procedures for collecting, preparing, analysing, and visualising such data. Participants will learn about core ideas in data visualization, web scraping, and text analysis while gaining practice writing, debugging, and tracking changes to code in R. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
| | | Going beyond Data Synthesis: Meta-Analysis for Theory Advancement in Business and Economic Research | | By Dr Marc van Essen, 3 to 5 July 2019 The course aims to teach participants how to develop coding questionnaires and code studies. It also shows how to perform data analysis, draw conclusions, and present findings, thus giving some indications on how to get published in a top journal. Moreover, we theoretically discuss and empirically show the benefits and limitations of meta-analysis. We will also provide explanations on how to get your work published in a journal. | | | | > Course details and application | | | |
