A discussion with David Bartram, Editor of Social Indicators Research" (h.10.30-12.30, Room SC 140), an event to explore key challenges researchers face in doing quantitative research in the social sciences. Key topics will include, but are not limited to:
(1) estimating causal effects with observational data;
(2) measuring complex phenomena;

These and other critical issues will be discussed with Prof. David Bartram, the newly appointed Editor of Social Indicators Research. We welcome researchers from all career stages and disciplines to join the discussion.
