This series of workshops advances the work of a comprehensive comparative study of the fiscal histories of eleven Latin American countries. A team of economists in each of the countries will produce a monetary and fiscal history of each country from 1960 to the present. Viewing country specific data as “case studies,” the researchers will test two central hypotheses: first, that bad fiscal and monetary policies led to macroeconomic instability, and second, that macroeconomic instability was responsible for low growth and poor economic performance in this region.

CONCURRENT LUNCHES
DRIVING HEALTH CARE INNOVATION IN A TUMULTUOUS ECONOMY
Hosted by Bristol Myers Squibb
Current macroeconomic trends and new laws around the world are shaking up the health care industry. Tightening budgets and legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. are causing many to rethink their priorities and what to invest in. Despite the challenges of this new era, founders and investors still see opportunities. We’ll hear from leaders working to navigate an uncertain economy and explore how they are activating innovation amid new patient expectations and growing technology disruption.

The purpose of this plenary session is to outline macroeconomic policies that would fit the EU political goals and the Green deal in a post growth perspective.

After sustained GDP expansion over the last decade, reaching
into the double digits, the Ghanaian economy has slowed
recently due to a drop in export revenues, a depreciating
currency and a widened fiscal deficit. However, the new
government’s aggressively pro-business agenda and the
country’s fundamentals – a developed private sector, political
stability, transparent regulatory frameworks and a wealth of
natural resources – remain attractive.

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.
