This event brought together doctoral students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and UChicago to present their ongoing research in macroeconomics, finance, growth and development, and corporate finance. The aim was to allow students to present their work to a less familiar audience, to get a wider range of feedback, and to interact and build relationships with potential future colleagues. Each paper presented was discussed by a student from the other university. Participants presented to an audience of fellow students.

RIVIERA MAYA, QUINTANA ROO, MEXICO., May 17th, 2012. - The Mexican businessman and chairman of Grupo Carso Carlos Slim Helu said that Mexico will be a developed country in 10 or 15 years, noting that it has macroeconomic conditions, financial and better human potential for progress.

Machine learning techniques are being actively pursued in the private sector and have been widely adopted in fields such as computational biology and computer vision. However, the role of machine learning in economics has so far been limited. This workshop was organized to provide a forum to discuss how ideas and techniques from machine learning could be applied to economic questions. The workshop will bring together researchers from computer science, statistics, econometrics and applied economics to foster interactions and discuss different perspectives on statistical learning and its potential impact on economics.
The workshop began with overview talks on machine learning and statistics by researchers from outside of economics. Three following sessions were organized around the themes of causal inference, prediction, and networks and complex data. Each session included the presentation of papers in economics that make use of machine learning methodology, followed by a discussion by researchers from multiple communities.

The 2017 OECD Economic Survey of China assesses the country’s recent macroeconomic performance and proposes policy measures to promote higher-quality growth. Improving corporate performance by boosting innovation activities and entrepreneurship, enhancing the standards of corporate governance and reforming state-owned enterprises by exposing them more to market mechanisms would raise efficiency and boost household incomes, increase employment opportunities and raise people’s overall well-being. Moving to less energy-intensive production is also key to achieve greener and more sustainable growth. Greater redistribution through the tax-and-transfer system and better targeting of social assistance would enhance inclusiveness. At the same time, inequalities in access to education, healthcare and pensions need to be addressed.
