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.

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 Macro Finance Society organizes two conferences annually where researchers present recent work at the intersection of financial economics and macroeconomics. The methodological focus is on dynamic structural models that are grounded in data.
The conference presented theoretical and quantitative papers about default, maturity, dilution, and inflation, as well as fiscal policy design and modeling.
Papers represented a diversity of approaches in terms of model assumptions and features, but a common thread will be the use of modern dynamic macroeconomic theory to understand historical events and contemporary choices.
