#2017APPAM Pre-Conference
Workshop RFP
APPAM will host a workshop on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, just prior to the start of the 2017 Fall Research Conference. APPAM has held several of these workshops in the past with topics ranging from “Microsimulation Models” to “Big Data” to “Teaching Policy Analysis”. For 2017, we want to continue this tradition but we would like our APPAM Members to help us drive the content. Please review the pre-conference workshop RFP here.
We invite all APPAM Members to submit a workshop proposal on an emerging policy area or topic of interest such as methodology, management topics, or timely research. The topic does not have to correspond with the overall Fall Research Conference theme. Proposals are encouraged to be original in design and attract a broad audience of about 150 participants. Proposed workshops may take any format including, but not limited to, hands-on demonstrations or seminar style sessions. Submitters will be asked to include a number of details on their proposal such as speakers, format, organizers, and relevancy. Proposals for the pre-conference workshop are due no later than June 16, 2017. All questions and submissions should be directed to Tristanne Staudt.

JPAM Featured Article
"U.S. Child Safety Seat Laws: Are they Effective, and Who Complies?"
By: Lauren Jones, Ph.D. and Nicholas Ziebarth, Ph.D.
This article assesses the effectiveness of child safety seat laws in the US. Over the past 35 years, state laws have increased the age until which children are required to ride in child safety seats. The authors exploit state-child age level variation in the timing of these law changes to estimate triple difference models of the effect of the laws on restraint behavior and child fatalities. As part of our ongoing effort to promote JPAM authors to the APPAM membership and the public policy field at large, we have asked the authors to answer a few questions. See the authors' interview responses here.
