SUMMARY:CCPR Workshop: Computing Resources for Demographers - What's Available\, How to Access Them\, and When to Use Them
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Matt Lahmann\nInstructor: Mike Tzen \nThis workshop has two halves. In the first half\, we will dive into the 3 main computing resources that CCPR offers to affiliates\, including it’s remote and on campus offerings. \nAt the end of the first half\, we’ll get participants signed up for hoffman2 and TS2. Once signed up\, you’ll have state of the art hardware resources and most software you’ll ever need for demographic research. \nIn the second half\, we’ll show you how to use these computing resources\, identifying what resource is better to use for different computing project scenarios.

SUMMARY:SSCERT Workshop: Practical Web Technologies for Social Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Practical Web Technologies for Social Scientists\nDate: Thursday\, April 8\, 2021\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:30pm\nInstructor: Neal Fultz \nThis workshop will introduce the alphabet soup of technologies powering the modern web; TCP/IP\, HTTP\, HTML\, XML\, JSON\, REST APIs\, OAUTH\, SSL\, AWS\, among others. Attendees will build up enough background knowledge to begin scraping data from the web. R/Python/JS will be demonstrated\, but the concepts are reasonably generic. \nRegistration: https://calendar.library.ucla.edu/event/7594317

SUMMARY:PAA Student Practice Talks
DESCRIPTION:12:00 – 12:40 Shuchi Goyal\, presentation title:”A Practical Revealed Preference Model for Separating Preferences and Availability Effects in Marriage Formation” \nMany problems in demography require models for partnership formation that separate latent preferences for partners from the availability of partners. We consider a model for matchings within a bipartite population where individuals have utility for people based on known and unknown characteristics. People can form a partnership or remain unpartnered. The model represents both the availability of potential partners of different types and preferences of individuals for such people. We develop Menzel’s (2015) framework to estimate preference parameters based on sample survey data on partnerships and population composition.\nWe conduct simulation studies based on new marriages observed in the Survey for Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to show that\, for realistic population sizes\, the model recovers preference parameters that are invariant under different population availabilities. We also develop confidence intervals that have correct coverage. This model can be applied in family demography to understand individual preferences given different availabilities. \n12:40-1:20 Bernard Koch\, presentation title: “Deep Learning of Potential Outcomes”

SUMMARY:CCPR Census Workshop Series Part 2: Editing\, Imputing\, and Maintaining Privacy
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Mike Tzen \nIn this 2nd CCPR Census Workshop (2 of 3)\, we’ll take a look at some of the ways the US Census Bureau\, edits\, imputes\, and maintains privacy of the 2020 decennial census data before releasing it to the public. For practical reasons\, we’ll spend more time on imputation\, as attendees will most likely find the need for (or to deal with) imputation in their own research projects. \nPart 1 and its slides can be viewed below\nhttps://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/ccpr-census-workshop-part-1-your-research-2020-census/ \nPart 2 slides are below\nhttps://ucla.app.box.com/v/slides-cens-pt2-eip

SUMMARY:PAA Student Practice Talks
DESCRIPTION:12:00 – 12:30 Nathan Hoffmann\, presentation title: “A ‘Win-Win Exercise’? Eastern European Children in Western Europe” \n  \n12:30 – 1:00 Brett McCully\, presentation title: “Immigration\, Legal Status\, and Illegal Trade” \nAbstract: Nearly $2 trillion worth of illegal goods are trafficked across international borders every year\, generating violence and other social costs along the way. Some have controversially linked illegal trafficking to immigrants\, yet an appropriate immigration policy response is unclear. In this paper\, I use novel data on nearly 10\,000 confiscations of illegal drugs in Spain to study how immigrants and immigration policy affect the pattern and scale of illegal drug trafficking. To identify the causal effect of immigrants on trafficking\, I construct an instrumental variable that interacts variation in total immigrant inflows into Spain by origin country with the fraction of immigrants inflowing into a province. I find that a 10% increase in the population of immigrants from a given origin country relative to the mean raises the value of drugs trafficked from the origin country confiscated in a given province by 12%. Moreover\, this relationship is driven entirely by immigrants without legal status. To better understand the role of legal status\, I exploit an extraordinary regularization of nearly half a million immigrants in 2005. Event study estimates suggest that granting immigrants legal status results in a long-run decline in drug trafficking\, corresponding to the acquisition of citizenship by the immigrants. \n1:00 – 1:30 Angela Clague\, presentation title: “The Mediating Effects of Household Resources in Orphan Disadvantage in Cambodia” \n  \n  \n
