The Departments of Agricultural Economics, and Space, Health and Population Economics(SHaPE) Research Group at Purdue University hosts the fifith annual midwest graduate student summit on regional, population, health and environmental (RPHE) economics.

April 13th - April 14th, 2012 at Purdue University

The summit will bring together graduate students and post-docs at major universities in the Midwest for a laid-back and collegial conference focused on students’ research. We provide a forum for each graduate student or post-doc to present his/her in-progress research or completed research. We expect these presentations will spark discussions about the current research students are undertaking and acquaint graduate students with each other and professors studying similar topics.

The conference presentations address a variety of topics of growing importance to a community of applied economists, and planning and regional development scholars. Students are encouraged to submit a proposal in any of the following areas:

Agglomeration
Climate change
Discrete-choice modeling
Energy
Environmental valuation
Epidemiology and public health
Health and nutrition
Income inequality
Land use
Migration
Panel data econometrics
Population aging
Spatial data analysis
Spatial econometrics
Urban capital
Urban sprawl
