All IQSS graduate student affiliates are invited to submit their working papers to this IQSS Graduate Student Working Paper Series. This series provides the opportunity for you to obtain feedback from colleagues on your work, before publication. Papers submitted should be about new or existing quantitative methods as applied to substantive areas of interest. Manuscripts should be original, present rigorous analysis, and demonstrate contributions to knowledge. You will be notified when your paper is accepted, and a citation to your paper will appear on the IQSS web site Writings page.
