happy to announce the 3<sup>rd</sup> Empirical
Implications of Theoretical Models (EITM) Europe Summer Institute which
will take place at the University of Mannheim from June 26 - July 9,
2011. The objective of EITM is to evaluate the explanatory power of
theoretical models and to equip junior researchers with the most
sophisticated tools of analysis that enable them to conduct their
research at the highest scholarly level. Please help us to distribute
this information.</span></p>

this purpose, I am delighted that Andrew Martin and Randy Calvert
(WashU) will teach the Theoretical and Methodological Foundation
classes, followed by Michael Laver (New York University) on Agent Based
Modeling. Will Lowe and Sven-Oliver Proksch (University of Mannheim)
will teach the final class on Quantitative Analysis of Political Texts.
Additionally, we offer a refresher course in Mathematics and R taught
by Martin Elff (Essex).</span></div>

fees
will
be 1.000 Euros plus 500 Euros for accommodation (if needed).
The previous EITM Europe Summer schools have attracted ambitious junior
researchers who have received an excellent training and new insights
into formal models and their empirical evidence in Political Science
and Political Economy. You will find further information on the website <a
