The Becker Friedman Institute was pleased to host its inaugural Open Source Macroeconomics Laboratory (OSM Lab), which ran an intenstive and immersive seven-week computational macroeconomics boot camp from June 19 to August 4, 2017. The goals were to: train advanced undergraduates and graduate students with the computational skills to participate in cutting-edge economic research and public policy analysis; inspire the brightest young researchers to pursue policy-relevant work throughout their careers; spread the ideals of transparency and replicability throughout the economics profession from the ground up; and accelerate scientific progress in economics and policy analysis more broadly
Hey so... in Macroeconomics class today I realized my nails match my pen... so I made a mental note to photograph them later. Here's the result.
And again.. bear with me as I figure out a logo here...
I REALLY need to get photoshop elements.

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.

Both the 2008 worldwide financial crisis and the 2011 sovereign debt crisis in Europe highlighted the need to understand more deeply the precarious interaction between the financial sector and the economy as a whole. The third conference on this theme, the event will focus on macroeconomic fragility, systemic risk, financial-macro interactions, and related topics. Researchers will offer theoretical insights as well as empirical work towards the measurement of systemic risk.

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.

This conference includes scholars presenting empirical and theoretical analyses on recent advances in finance and macroeconomics that examine the role of such complex networks.
