Project proposals

GDELT

I'd love to play around with the new Global Data on Events, Location and Tone (GDELT) dataset, which has 200+ million timestamped and geocoded political events. Here's a writeup of it in Foreign Policy -- David

Research Network Formation

I'd be interested in collecting some data from CSSS attendants. Some kind of way to study social network formation. -- Todd

Self-consistent networks for socio-economic institutions

Pablo and I started to discuss a project where we could use cross-impact balances (CIB) to investigate the implications of alternative hypotheses for interrelationships between various socio-economic/political factors. We began discussing this from the perspective of testing competing political economic theories to see what types of institutions (e.g. styles and stability of governance) would be self-consistent according to the theories. However, I would be open to other topics, including research questions inspired by GDELT. If there is interest to learn more about the CIB technique, I could put together a tutorial. --Vanessa
