Yes, I was going to try replicating a some-what related article on attitudes to the EU using the same data set I worked with (The Northern Irish Social AttitudesSurvey) - however no one has published anything directly on my topic - so perhaps that can keep for another time. I would love to meet up and work on problems - and think a work group in providence if their are any other's in the area is a great idea. ________________________________ From: gov2001-l-bounces at lists.fas.harvard.edu [mailto:gov2001-l-bounces at lists.fas.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Z.

For that matter, are there any other people who live in Providence and would like to form a little homework group? I'm interested in your project and I'd be happy to help out on the side; however, as I understand it, we're suppose to pick a prominent article from the literature and, as a first step toward writing our paper, replicate the results. I'd prefer to work on an American government topic, but maybe there is a international relations paper we could find together? Let me know.

I am also in Providence and but am working as a programmer at the medical school - I am thinking of re-working some research I did as a graduate student at Brown, examining factors leading up to the peace agreement in Northern Ireland. I would like to explore whether fixed effect or IV models may be more appropriate for the question I am asking compared to the OLS models I originally ran.

I'm an undergraduate in my last year of a five year AB/ScB program. My AB concentrations are public policy and education studies and my ScB concentration is in applied math--economics. I also have a background in programming. Like Gary mentioned in class, I like political science because of the diversity of problems I can study, and would be open to a paper on anything, but I have a preference for American government topics. The idea from "Publication, Publication" seems like a good idea to me--I have good mathematical and programming skills, but think that I could work well with a partner has more "wisdom" and political science intuition. I do live in Providence, so face to face meetings would be minimal (after class, weekends). That's a downside, but I guess when in academia our authors won't always be right at hand, so it could be seen as another skill-set to develop...I assume we can use skype/aim/gchat and work it out.
