Please join us for the Harvard/MIT Positive Political Economy Series:
Thursday, March 8
4:30pm-6pm
Scott Gelbach will present, " The Productivity Consequences of Political Turnover:
Firm-Level Evidence from Ukraine," joint with John S. Earle.
The MIT Political Science Department and The Institute for Quantitative Social Science at
Harvard University are sponsoring a seminar on formal and quantitative political research.
The Program on Positive Political Economy (PPE) supports research-related activities that
integrate the study of economics and politics, whether by studying "economic"
behavior in the political process or "political" behavior in the marketplace. In
general, positive political economy is concerned with showing how observed differences
among institutions affect political and economic outcomes in various social, economic, and
political systems and how the institutions themselves change and develop in response to
individual and collective beliefs, preferences, and strategies.
All interested faculty and students are invited to attend.
*Spring 2012 PPE Lectures are held at Harvard in CGIS Knafel, 1737 Cambridge St, Room
K-354.
