The Stata Texas Empirical Microeconomics Conference is an annual gathering of empirical microeconomists from the (great) state of Texas. The primary goal of the camp is to bring together empirical economists of the host institutions and their guests to discuss current research in all areas of empirical microeconomics and to present papers for comments by participants. The secondary goal of the conference is to provide a venue for graduate students receive feedback on current research and develop their technical presentation skills through participation in a poster session. The conference began in 2011 through the generous support of StataCorp.
