National Assessment Governing Board
The Nation’s Report Card: Economics 2012, Grade 12
The Nation’s Report Card: Economics 2012, Grade 12, a new National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report, compares student achievement in 2012 with results from the first NAEP economics assessment, in 2006. The report explores how 12th-grade students’ economic literacy has progressed during a period of global financial change, and how well students know and apply the concepts of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and international trade in real-world contexts. The findings reveal racial/ethnic and gender score gaps, as well as background factors including student performance relative to parents’ levels of education, and sources from which students seek information about the U.S. and international economy, current events and public policy, and personal finance. For more information, please visit www.nagb.org/economics2012.

FRAMING THE GLOBAL
Indiana University-Bloomington
September 26-28, 2013
Sponsored by Center for the Study of Global Change, Indiana University and Indiana University Press
Global studies emerged in the 1980s as scholars, policymakers, and the general public began to take note of the increasingly transnational flows of people, ideas, and goods that have come to be identified under the rubric of globalization. Interest in global phenomena has since spread to every discipline in the social sciences and humanities, to become an intellectual touchstone in the academy and beyond. Despite increasing popular and scholarly attention to global issues, no clear consensus has emerged regarding the most fundamental definitions of terms or appropriate empirical methods for studying the global. This conference will explore emerging directions and methodologies for global research. The scholars in the Mellon Foundation-funded Framing the Global project have been addressing this question collaboratively and through their own work, which is characterized by interdisciplinarity, empirical grounding, and a concern with tracing the links between the transnational and the local in a variety of lived, political, discursive, cultural, and social domains. The conference will extend that conversation to include other scholars and practitioners with similar concerns.
We invite proposals for panels or individual papers that are empirically grounded while addressing important theoretical and methodological issues in studying the global. Scholars in all academic and professional fields are encouraged to participate. Preference will be given to papers that complement the Framing the Global project’s approaches. Work that addresses public understanding of global studies, global issues, and globalization is especially welcome, as are proposals from scholars who are asking ontological and epistemological questions about their global research.
Framing the Global is a five-year collaboration between the Center for the Study of Global Change at Indiana University and Indiana University Press funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Papers that show promise for being developed into books that meet the project's aims may be considered for publication in the Global Research Studies book series, part of the Framing the Global initiative.
Proposal submission deadline: April 15, 2013
Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2013
Prospective participants should submit their proposals through our online submission page:
http://www.indiana.edu/~global/framing/abstractForm.php
PANEL SUBMISSIONS: Proposals for 90-minute panels of 3-4 15- or 20-minute presentations should include an abstract of up to 300 words describing the panel’s focus and rationale and the titles and 250-word abstracts of the individual presentations. The online submission form will also require the panel’s title, a list of the names, and a list of keywords.
INDIVIDUAL SUBMISSIONS: Proposals for 15- or 20-minute presentations are also invited. Individual proposals should include an abstract of no more than 250 words. Title and keywords will also be requested on the submission form. Individual presentations will be organized into sessions around common themes. Final determination of the length of the presentations (whether 15 or 20 minutes) will be confirmed by conference organizers when session configurations are finalized.
Please be sure to include all information requested on the abstract submission page, though please omit identifying information from your abstract.

The Institute will be conducted jointly with an international group from Europe. The focus of the 2013 Institute will be on these issues and the methodologies available to support causal inferences. The Institute will cover topics such as the design of randomized experiments and the difficulties of implementing them in educational settings as well as several approaches and methodologies for estimating causal inferences in situations where randomized studies are impossible or too costly. Such methodologies include propensity scores, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, path analysis, and structural equation models, as well as related sensitivity methods. During the Institute examples will be provided in addition to working sessions in which participants will gain experience with implementing selected methods with real data.

RAND is pleased to announce the 20th annual RAND Summer Institute (RSI), which will take place in Santa Monica, CA, July 8-11, 2013. The RSI consists of two conferences addressing critical issues facing our aging population: a Mini-Medical School for Social Scientists (July 8-9) and a Workshop on the Demography, Economics, Psychology, and Epidemiology of Aging (July 10-11). The primary aim of the RSI is to expose scholars interested in the study of aging to a wide range of research being conducted in fields beyond their own specialties.
The Mini-Med School focuses on biomedical issues relating to aging and should be of interest to all non-medically trained scholars regardless of background. Topics will be drawn from the diverse fields of biomedicine, including biology, genetics, patient care, psychiatry, and other areas. Expert clinicians and researchers will provide participants with insight into the science of aging and a greater understanding of relevant medical issues.
The Workshop on Aging is targeted to pre- and post-doctoral students and junior faculty, and to more senior researchers new to aging research. Topics will be drawn from research areas in the social sciences, including discussions of savings, retirement, disability, demography, psychology, and quality of life issues. In each session, leading experts will discuss the state of the literature, integrating results from their own research and supplementing these overviews with more detailed analyses of specific topics.
We invite all interested researchers to apply to attend the 2013 RSI. Applicants may apply for fellowship support to pay for travel and accommodations. Both the Mini-Med School and the Workshop on Aging are described more fully at our web site: http://www.rand.org/labor/aging/rsi/. The deadline to submit application and supplemental materials is March 22, 2013. For additional information, please contact Diana Malouf (malouf@rand.org).

AERA Institute on Statistical Analysis for Education Policy: Causal Inference.
Supported by the National Science Foundation, the Institute's goal is to help develop a critical mass of U.S. educational researchers using NCES and NSF data sets for basic, policy, and applied research. The Institute will be conducted jointly with an international group from Europe. The focus of the 2013 Institute will be on these issues and the methodologies available to support causal inferences. The Institute will cover topics such as the design of randomized experiments and the difficulties of implementing them in educational settings as well as several approaches and methodologies for estimating causal inferences in situations where randomized studies are impossible or too costly. Such methodologies include propensity scores, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, path analysis, and structural equation models, as well as related sensitivity methods. During the Institute examples will be provided in addition to working sessions in which participants will gain experience with implementing selected methods with real data.
For further information about AERA and the Institute on Statistical Analysis for Education Policy: Causal Inference, review the Call for Applications or visit www.aera.net/grantsprogram. You may also contact Kevin Dieterle, AERA Grants Program Manager, at grantsprogram@aera.net or (202) 238-3227.
