Are you an aspiring policy researcher? Well, in just two days, you’ve got the chance to learn from one of the best policy experts out there at the Atlas Network’s webinar, Research Methodologies for Think Tanks with Jeff Miron. The third in a series on policy research within think tanks, Thursday’s webinar will feature Jeff Miron, director of economic studies at the Cato Institute on the subject of research methodology for studies meant to move policy.

The presentation will provide an introduction to key research methodologies, when to use them, and how to employ research to effect policy change. It also counts for one credit for anyone enrolled in the Atlas Leadership Academy.

It can be difficult to know what skills to focus on when considering a career in the policy world, but with the help of experienced researchers, you can learn how meaningful research is conducted in a think tank environment. There’s no better place to start than with one of the Cato Institute’s preeminent scholars and the support of the Atlas Network.

In addition to his work at Cato, Jeff Miron is the director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Economics at Harvard University. He is the author of Drug War Crimes: The Consequences of Prohibition and The Economics of Seasonal Cycles and focuses on the area of the economics of libertarianism, with particular emphasis on the economics of illegal drugs. So the webinar should be particularly useful for anyone interested in drug policy and the economics of prohibition and other restrictions on trade.
