We are pleased to invite you to join a EURAM Webinar on 25 September 2023, from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST: 

Title: Addressing problems arising from endogeneity in management research
Speaker: Professor Marco Giarratana, Vice-Rector of Research and Coordination, IE University, Madrid, Spain

Summary: Endogeneity in quantitative research is one of the most common problems that prevent management researchers from specifying models accurately and making causal claims. In this EURAM webinar, Professor Marco Giarratana will draw on his experience as an associate editor, member of editorial boards and research funding councils to discuss how appropriate research design and statistical techniques can help address endogeneity concerns and mitigate problems.  

Registration: To attend, please register here. 
You will receive a secure link a few days before the webinar.

Organiser: Panos Desyllas, Vice President Research Funding

A new generation of early stage researchers and educators is facing rapidly evolving global research, policy-making and practice challenges. The two associations have agreed to work together to move forward the debate and thinking on how to train new generations of researchers to address these challenges and to build a rich and diverse scholarly community that educates and produces knowledge which is relevant to society."
