NYU-CESS conference

This weekend, I attended the 2nd NYU-CESS conference on experimental political science. With even a larger crowd and more papers than last year, the interest in experimental methods in the discipline seems stable or increasing. Unfortunately it was spread over two days, which might be a bit too much. I'd rather see the presentation time curbed and have it in a more compact format.


The department had a strong showing as well, in terms of both attendance and a presentation by Leonie Huddy and Lily Mason. Another interesting paper came from Jamie Druckman, who (among other things) suggests that the duration of framing effects depends on a person's processing mode (see graph).
