Advances in Experimental Political Science

Over the last five years, approaches to social science experimentation have evolved greatly, due in part to the “replication crisis” – that is, findings of low replication rates of experiments. At the same time, social scientists have expanded the reach of experiments by tapping new data sources (e.g., elite samples) and introducing methods that had previously received scant attention in the discipline (e.g., conjoint experiments).

In order to ensure that the social sciences successfully navigate questions about the reliability and replicability of experiments and fully exploit methodological advances, this workshop will bring together a collection of expert scholars to discuss new methods and approaches. The papers will then constitute an edited volume to be published by Cambridge University Press.

This is an invitation-only conference of approximately 60 attendees from around the country in various fields.
