Conference program 2025

Go back to Past YEMs

Wednesday - May 21 (optional program)

An optional course will be available for YEM participants taught by James Tremewan (Tor Vergata University of Rome)
Venue: Room S306, ESF MUNI, Lipova41a, Brno, Czech Republic
The course is provided for free, please confirm your participation by email.

Title: Faking data (in a good way): size, power, and the replication crisis
Description: In this short course, we will look at some examples of how simulating data can be a useful tool for achieving more replicable research. The size and power of statistical tests are the two parameters that tell you how much you should update your prior about the truth of a hypothesis after observing the outcome of an experiment. We will first discuss "exact tests," where the size is mathematically correct, and show through simulations how tests that rely on asymptotics or unverifiable assumptions can lead to underestimating the rate of false rejections of the null. We will then use the same method to perform bespoke power analysis in a way that takes account of the actual tests you will be using and your best guess of the distributions of data you will gather. Finally, we will use simulations to investigate how poor experimental design and publication bias can lead to exaggerated statistical significance and magnitudes of treatment effects.

This course will take place over two sessions:
Session 1: Wednesday, May 21, 12:30 – 15:30
Session 2: Thursday, May 22, 10.00 – 13.00

We cordially invite YEM participants to attend a public lecture by David Neumark organized within the Masaryk University Seminar series.

    What Can We Conclude from the Evidence on Minimum Wages and Employment? – Recent Progress

    The U.S. research literature on the employment effects of minimum wages is often described as contradictory and conclusive. In this lecture, Prof. Neumark will present new evidence from a survey and empirical analysis that shows that indeed most work finds that higher minimum wages reduce employment of low-skilled workers, and that some important evidence suggesting the opposite is flawed and reaches the wrong conclusion.
