SUMMARY:Workshop: Information Session - Census Data & German Data
DESCRIPTION:Information session on data available at the Census Research Data Center (RDC) at UCLA and how to access it: \nData availability of five types of confidential government data available in the RDC \n[1] Business Data (Economic Census\, Annual Survey of Manufactures\, Longitudinal Foreign Trade Transactions Database\, Commodity Flow Survey\, Business Research and Development and Innovation Survey) \n[2] Individual Data (CPS and SIPP merged to longitudinal earnings records\, Decennial Census and American Community Survey with neighborhood IDs) \n[3] Administrative Data (Longitudinal Business Database\, Longitudinal Employer-Household Database\, Census Numident\, UMETRICS). \n[4] Health and Injury Data (Medical Expenditure Panel Survey\, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries\, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses\, National Health Interview Survey) \n[5] Justice Data (National Crime Victimization Survey) \nSee https://www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc/about/available_data.html. I will also talk about how to write a proposal for Census Data\, and the typical duration to data access. \nIn addition\, I will talk about administrative and survey German data available on firms\, employment\, and unemployment on campus.

SUMMARY:Homelessness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Homelessness Workshop\nOrganizers: Randall Kuhn and Till von Wachter\nMay 21-24\, 2018\n4240 Public Affairs Building \nIn Los Angeles County\, homelessness is a crisis affecting productivity\, safety and health\, including that of UCLA students and staff. While individual research groups at UCLA are addressing this crisis\, UCLA lacks a coordinated response in terms of research or student awareness. To galvanize transdisciplinary research and training\, we propose a one-week residency by Prof. Dennis Culhane of the University of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:CEGA-EASST Scholars Visit from East Africa
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 16\,  UCLA is hosting three CEGA-EASST scholars from East Africa. EASST invites East African researchers to apply for a 4-month fellowship at UC Berkeley to build skills in rigorous social science research and impact evaluation-these are the fellows who won this fellowship.  Each scholar will present on the following topics from 12:00-1:30PM in Public Affairs building room 4240. Lunch will be served.  They will be visiting all day so let us know if you would like to meet with any of them individually. Hope you can join us. Register Here\n  \n\nSamuel Muhula: Monitoring\, Evaluation and Research Manager at Amref Health Africa\, from Kenya \n“Social Dynamics and HIV Treatment Retention: Can Non-monetary Incentives and Facility-Based Psychosocial Support Improve Patients’ Retention in the Early Stages of HIV Care?”\nSuboptimal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment retention has profound impacts on morbidity and mortality among HIV positive participants. Monetary incentives and psychosocial support have been shown to be effective in various aspects of HIV control and may improve retention of participants in the early stages of HIV continuum of care. This two-armed randomized control trial evaluates the effectiveness of social dynamics involving non-monetary incentives and facility-based psychosocial support for HIV treatment on retention in the first six months of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group will receive standard care and the treatment which includes non-monetary incentives and participants enrolled into psychosocial support groups. The study will be implemented in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi\, Kenya.\n  \n\nDanish Us Salam: Senior Research Associate at BRAC Uganda\, from Pakistan \n“Play & Learn – Using Intramural Sports to tackle Health and Educational Outcomes in Sierra Leone”\nPolitical and economic pressures on education systems to improve standardized test scores have had the unintended consequence of reducing or eliminating physical education curricula and thus students’ opportunities for physical activity. Extensive scientific evidence demonstrates that regular physical activity promotes growth and development in youth and has multiple benefits for physical\, mental and cognitive health whereas the lack of it can be detrimental to optimizing child health and development. I propose an experiment to test whether introducing a sport’s curriculum in under-resourced schools can drive health and educational outcomes among primary and secondary school students. More specifically\, I’m interested in the impact of supervised sports participation and school-sport performance-linked cash benefits in curbing teacher absenteeism\, teacher effort and improving student health and educational status across gender\, class level and socio-economic status.\n  \n\nPatrick Okello: Research Fellow at BRAC Uganda\, from Uganda \n“The Unemployment Problem and the Informal Economy: Can Evaluative Conditioning increase Labor Market Engagement?”\nYouth unemployment presents a major challenge in Uganda and is estimated to be as high as 64%. Only 30% of the labor force is engaged in the formal sector as it cannot absorb the large numbers entering the labor market annually. The informal sector\, however\, contributes considerably to the national GDP. There is anecdotical evidence that the reluctance to engage in the informal sector is attitudinal rather than structural\, partly as a result of asymmetrical information flows between the informal sector and job seekers. Therefore\, job seekers delay employment in expectation of a higher reservation wage attainable from a job in the formal sector. By exposing different groups to stimuli to reshape their negative opinions about self-employment\, we query whether this could be a cost-effective way to promote labor force participation rates.

SUMMARY:2016 Southern California Symposium on Network Economics and Game Theory
DESCRIPTION:2016 Southern California Symposium on Network Economics and Game Theory\nNovember 4-5\, 2016\, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM\n4240 Public Affairs Building \nThis symposium brings together students\, professors\, and researchers from Southern California who use game theory to analyze\, design\, and assess the performance of networks. We hope to highlight connections between research areas and stimulate conversations about the benefits and limitations of game theory as a tool for understanding networked systems. Our community is interested in both the application of game theory to networking problems and in the development of novel game-theoretic methods; we also have a broader interest in learning\, mechanism design\, and network science.

SUMMARY:Ilan H. Meyer & Mark S. Handcock\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Innovative Sampling Approaches for Hard to Reach Populations: Design of a National Probability Study of Lesbians\, Gay Men\, Bisexuals\, and Transgender Peoples and  Network Sampling of Hard to Reach Populations” \nSpeakers: \nIlan H. Meyer\, Williams Distinguished Senior Scholar for Public Policy at the Williams Institute \nMark S. Handcock\, Professor of Statistics at UCLA and Director of the Center for Social Statistics \nDescription: \nCome for the exciting seminar then stay for the free lunch and discussion. A seminar led by Ilan H. Meyer followed immediately by a Brown Bag Lunch led by Mark S. Handcock. \nDr. Meyer is Principal Investigator of the Generations and TransPop Surveys. Generations is a survey of a nationally representative sample of 3 generations of lesbians\, gay men\, and bisexuals. TransPop is the first national probability sample survey of transgender individuals in the United States. Both studies attempt to obtain large nationally representative samples of hard to reach populations. Dr. Meyer will review sampling issues with LGBT populations and speak on the importance of measuring population health of LGBTs and the underlying aspects in designing a national probability survey. \nFrom a contrasting perspective\, the field of Survey Methodology is facing many challenges. The general trend of declining response rates is making it harder for survey researchers to reach their intended population of interest using classical survey sampling methods. \nIn the followup Brown Bag Lunch\, led by Mark S. Handcock\, participants will discuss statistical challenges and approaches to sampling hard to reach populations. Transgenders\, for example\, are a rare and stigmatized population. If the transgender community exhibits networked social behavior\, then network sampling methods may be useful approaches that compliment classical survey methods.\nParticipants are encouraged to speak on ideas of statistical methods for surveys.
