GTO, IH seeking research assistant for study, Craigslist style!!
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 21st, 2004 1:57 PM Author: Buff water buffalo kitchen As you may be aware, GTO and I are attempting a study on employment outcomes for students at Vault+ law firms. The data set is *massive.* Through approximately 20% of the data, we have accounted for 25 law firms, 361 branch offices and 4112 associates.
The best study ever done on employment outcomes has been Prof. Leiter's study which, I think we all agree, leaves a lot to be desired. We can do *much* better but we could use some help.
We are seeking a research assistant/consultant to help us with the data entry (going to firm websites, finding the law schools of recent assocuates and entering it into Excel), to sift through OCI data and try to find some rhyme and reason to the hiring process and to spitball study design ideas with us.
Your qualifications should include:
(1) A working familiarity with Microsoft Excel
(2) Some knowledge of statistics
(3) An interest in the topic and the type of toolishness it takes to do something like this
(4) Some free time
(5) Not required but knowledge of the OCI process and of law firm hiring in general would be helpful
What the fuck do you get out of this?
Well not much. It's certainly not glamorous. But you DO get your name on this massive paper which we hope will impact the legal world in some way and that we will try our damndest to get published. And if you are a statistics tool like we are, it should be fun. You will join myself, GTO and one other research assitant/consultant on this project.
If you are interested, please submit a listing of your qualifications to 486hunter@gmail.com.
- IH and GTO |

You don't have to do anything advanced. Just be adept at looking at data and drawing conclusions. |

Date: November 21st, 2004 8:02 PM Author: curious deranged cruise ship Subject: How wise is the Invisible Hand? The theory of the invisible hand is certainly persuasive, and its simplicity is also very attractive. No doubt every reader can see that he describes the way that things really work on many occasions.
But, even assuming all the correct conditions, does the invisible hand theories really lead to the maximisation of human economic wellbeing in some sense? This is where mathematics, in the form of Game Theory, can provide us with some insights. |
