Symposium on Recent Advances in Methods for the Analysis of Panel Data
********************************************************************
ISCTE-IUL – Lisbon University Institute, Lisbon, PORTUGAL, 15-16 June,
2011.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together experts to discuss recent
advances in the various approaches to modelling panel, longitudinal or
repeated measures data, including graphical chain models, marginal models,
random effects models, multi-process models, structural equation models,
latent growth curve models and multilevel models. Issues to be discussed
include:
- modelling multiple processes;
- simultaneously modelling discrete ordinal responses and continuous
variables;
- handling data from complex sample surveys;
- accounting for panel attrition, item non-response and measurement error.
The Symposium will feature oral presentations of invited and contributed
papers.
The invited speakers are: Kenneth Bollen (North Carolina, USA), Maria
Eugénia Ferrão (UBI, Portugal), Ronja Foraita (BIPS-Bremen University,
Germany), Rui Menezes (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal),
Irini Moustaki (LSE, UK), Stephen Pudney (Misoc-ISER, UK) and Fiona Steele
(Bristol, UK).
Abstracts for papers concerning the Symposium's aims to be considered as
contributed papers should be sent to
SymPanelData.dmq.ibs@iscte.pt by 27
March 2011. These should be at most 500 words, and follow the template
available on the website. The Scientific Advisory Committee will select the
contributed papers, and authors will be advised of the committee's decision
by 20 April 2011.
The Symposium is to be preceded by a one-day short-course on the Analysis of
Panel Data, to be given by Professor Peter Smith (University of Southampton,
UK), Dr M. Fátima Salgueiro (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal) and Dr. Marcel Vieira
(Univ. Federal de Juíz de Fora, Brazil).
