Upcoming Workshop: Using Scanner Data for Food Economics Research—Resources and Approaches for New and Advanced Researchers

Dates:             August 3-4, 2022 (immediately following the AAEA meetings)

Location:        Hilton Hotel, Anaheim, CA with the option to attend virtually

Please join us for an upcoming workshop sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service (ERS) for new and advanced researchers using scanner data for conducting food economics research. The workshop will provide an overview of IRI store and household scanner data including datasets that can be linked for analyses, introduce researchers to new data products available from ERS that can enhance analyses, provide an opportunity to learn about ongoing research using scanner data, and allow for discussion on how your research questions can be addressed using these data. The workshop will also provide an overview of possible funding sources to pursue research projects using scanner data. The workshop will be particularly useful for graduate students and early career researchers who would like to integrate scanner data into their research plans. Sessions will also be useful for more advanced users interested in learning about new datasets and approaches.
