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.

Excuse me, channel one
I'm talking to the sun
hold on a second, general, if you please
I'm gazin' at the sky
no need to ratify
It seems to me it's perfect for the job
cos I don't see why things look
much nicer from the top
Walking down the street with my head up high
I can see why
Walking down the street
starin' at the sky
I can see all the brightness before my eyes
No more politics (you ain't seen nothing yet)
and econometrics
I can see there are better days ahead

Earning different degrees at various phases of life is a unique challenge. It all started with mathematics, then to music, Econometrics, Educational and Behavioral Psychology, Management, and Corporate Finance. Without learning and challenging, this life is so boring and they also bring order and discipline to my life.
A couple of drinks might satiate others' thirst and they are comfortable in that state but that is not my case. We are what we are who do things consistently, and must get away from the comfort zone, though our brain is not designed to do uncomfortable things.
The lapel pin with the US and Canada that I wore during the convocation has a great meaning since these two countries' environments and challenges make me a real human with a character that brings me down to earth.
Thank you, Lord Jesus; I am blessed in so many ways.

Im Artikel „Ketogene Diäten. Vorsicht bei Verzicht auf Kohlenhydrate“ wird empfohlen, sich nicht ketogen zu ernähren. Wir als Ketoseportal können das natürlich nicht so stehen lassen.
Hier eine Richtigstellung der Fakten:
Dieser Artikel sagt prinzipiell aus, dass
a) kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten nur helfen bei Epilepsie, alle weiteren Anwendungsfälle sind nicht nachgewiesen
b) ketogene Diäten zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen mit der Folge von Schlaganfällen oder Herzinfarkten
c) Ketogene Diät führt zu einer erhöhten Harnsäureproduktion und kann somit zu Gicht führen
Der Artikel zitiert als Quellen nur Interviewpartnern wie Professor Georg Wechsler oder Margret Morlo. Wissenschaftliche Studien werden nicht angegeben. Soviel schon mal zur Tiefe der Recherche, die der Journalist da unternommen hat. Vielleicht ist deswegen auch die Kommentarfunktion ausgeschaltet bei dem Artikel.
Schauen wir doch mal, was an den Punkten jeweils an Wahrheit dran ist.
Zu a) kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten nur helfen bei Epilepsie, alle weiteren Anwendungsfälle sind nicht nachgewiesen
Dass Ketose bei Epilepsie hilft, ist lange nachgewiesen. Außerdem ist seit über 20 Jahren bekannt, dass Kohlenhydratverzehr zum Metabolischen Syndrom, das zusammen hängt mit Herzkrankheiten, Diabetes, Bluthochdruck, etc. Der Verzicht auf Kohlenhydrate könnte also durchaus helfen, diese Krankheiten zu lindern oder sogar zu heilen.
Kohlenhydratreduzierte Diäten helfen nachgewiesenermaßen für
Diabetes
Risiko kardiovaskulärer Krankheiten
Epilepsie
Gewichtsabnahme
Erste Hinweise in Studien gibt es auf eine Wirksamkeit bei
Akne
PCOS
Neurologischen Krankheiten
Krebs
Außerdem gibt es weitere Anwendungsfelder, die wohl erst in den nächsten Jahren wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen werden, aber schon von Ketanern in Foren diskutiert werden. Einfach mal bei reddit unter /keto suchen.
b) ketogene Diäten zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen mit der Folge von Schlaganfällen oder Herzinfarkten
(„Es besteht die Gefahr, dass eine nur fettreiche Ernährung zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führt. Die Folge davon können Schlaganfall oder Herzinfarkt sein.“)
Dies beruht auf Ernährungsempfehlungen aus den 60er / 70er Jahren. Es wurde damals angenommen, dass Fett und Cholesterin zuständig ist für eine Verengung der Gefäße. Selbst groß angelegte Studien konnten dies nicht wirklich nachweisen.
Was man jedoch nachweisen konnte, ist, dass der Verzehr von vielen Kohlenhydraten zu mehr ungesunden Cholesterinpartikeln führt. Cholesterin ist nicht gleich Cholesterin. Es gibt unterschiedliche Partikel. Die fiesen kleinen dichten, die zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führen, werden von der Leber aus Kohlenhydraten gebaut.
Genauer gesagt macht die Leber große Fetttropfen, wenn viele Kohlenhydrate gegessen werden. Diese großen Fetttropfen werden in Transportblasen gesteckt. Zusammen bilden Fetttropfen und Transportblase dann die sogenannten LDL Partikel. Diese wandern durch den Körper und geben einen Teil des Fetts ab als Energie an die Zellen. Was übrig bleibt, sind kleine dichte LDL Partikel. Fiese kleine dichte LDL Partikel, die bevorzugt in Gefäßen rumhängen und da Ablagerungen machen.
Wenn wenig Kohlenhydrate da sind, baut die Leber mittelgroße Fetttropfen und legt diese ab in der Transportblase. Dies sind ebenfalls LDL Partikel. Diese mittelgroßen werden aber nie zu kleinen dichten LDL Partikeln, sondern bleiben fluffig. Fluffige LDL Partikel sind unheimlich nett und kuschelig und machen keine Ablagerungen in den Gefäßen.
Kurz gesagt:
Wenig Kohlenhydrate = wenig kleine dichte LDL Partikel
Es sind also Kohlenhydrate, nicht Fett, die Schlaganfälle und Herzinfarkte verursachen.
(Lieber Herr Prof. Wechsler, kennen Sie das Buch „Good Calories Bad Calories“? Wenn Sie mir mehr Studien zeigen können, die darauf hinweisen, dass eine ketogene Ernährungsweise zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen führt als Herr Taubes Studien aufführt dazu, dass Kohlenhydrate zu Ablagerungen an den Gefäßen – dann haben Sie hiermit eine persönliche Entschuldigung via Skype und ein persönliches Interview zur Gegendarstellung gewonnen.
Sorry, den Kommentar konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen. Vielleicht weil ich beeindruckt bin, dass Sie einen Professortitel haben. Das heißt, dass Sie viel geforscht und gelesen haben, so einen Titel bekommt man nicht einfach so. Ich wünschte nur, die Forschungsergebnisse zu Low Carb würden zu mehr Ärzten und Professoren durchdringen. Dann würden Menschen wie meine Mama vielleicht nicht fast an Herzproblemen sterben. Oder übergewichtig sein mit Diabetes. Oder mit Erwachsenen-Akne kämpfen. Oder mit Alzheimer. Oder Migräne. Das macht mich wahrscheinlich etwas wütend und daher mein fieser Kommentar. Über ein Interview mit Ihnen würde ich mich trotzdem freuen Herr Professor Wechsler.)
c) Ketogene Diät führt zu einer erhöhten Harnsäureproduktion und kann somit zu Gicht führen
Das ist zum Teil richtig. Bei einer Umstellung von einer Ernährung mit vielen Kohlenhydraten zur ketogenen Ernährung produziert der Körper für mehrere Tage bis Wochen mehr Harnsäure. Danach produziert der Körper genauso viel Harnsäure wie vorher, wenn nicht sogar weniger.
Was genau die zwischenzeitliche Erhöhung der Harnsäure auslöst, ist noch unklar. Es hängt in jedem Fall mit der Umstellung der Energieversorgung des Körpers von Glukose auf Ketone zusammen. Möglicherweise ist das Hirn (braucht am meisten Energie aller Organe im Körper, selbst bei Doofen) verzweifelt, weil es erstmal keine Energie in der gewohnten Form mehr bekommt. Dann baut der Körper etwas Muskelmasse ab und baut die Proteine zu Glukose um. In diesem Prozess entsteht wahrscheinlich die Harnsäure.
Wenn der Körper eine Weile lang nur Ketone als Nahrung hat, gewöhnt er sich daran. Dann funktioniert das Hirn wieder super und ist sogar glücklicher als zuvor, denn es Ketone liefern eine hochwertigere Energie als Glukose.
(Wer jetzt Angst um seine hart trainierten Muskeln hat: auch die leiden nur kurzfristig. Studien haben gezeigt, dass nach kurzer Zeit wieder alles dran ist. Und ja, man kann auf Ketose auch Muskeln aufbauen. Dauert „optisch“ nur länger, weil es reine Muskelmasse ist und keine Fettschicht darauf ist wie beim Muskelaufbau mit Kohlenhydraten.)
Bei den meisten Menschen ist eine vorübergehende Erhöhung der Harnsäure kein Grund zur Beunruhigung. Menschen, die zu Gicht neigen, sollten sich für eine Umstellung auf jeden Fall ärztliche Unterstützung holen.
Wenn du selbst bisher keine Probleme mit Gicht hattest, aber Verwandte von dir, lieber auch auf Nummer sicher gehen. Eine Begleitung von einem Arzt, der sich mit Ketose auskennt bei der Umstellung ist nie verkehrt.
„Wer sich ketogen ernährt, sollte daher regelmäßig die Harnsäure kontrollieren lassen.“
Damit stimme ich überein. Sicher ist sicher!
Man sollte am besten auch andere Werte messen lassen. Damit man mit eigenen Augen sehen kann, wie Entzündungswerte nach unten gehen, weniger fiese dichte LDL Partikel im Körper sind, der Blutdruck sich normalisiert,… mit anderen Worten: damit du mit eigenen Augen sehen kannst, wie du durch Ketose gesünder und fitter wirst.
Im Gegensatz zum Spiegel, der völlig ohne wissenschaftliche Quellen ausgekommen ist um gegen Ketose zu wettern – hier ein kleiner Auszug von Studien zu Ketose. Die Studien erklären, wie Ketose bei Übergewicht, (Markern für) Herzkrankheiten, Diabetes, Akne, Krebs, PCOS und neurologischen Krankheiten hilft:

had a lovely pyjama party with Figgy at my house tonight<3 taken before we dressed and went to school to have the Econometrics final exam :P
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 use of RCTs has a long history in economics, but has recently greatly expanded, particularly in economic development. Like other econometric methods, RCTs are often informative, but like other econometric methods, they have problems and pitfalls that are not always fully understood. Common misunderstandings include balance, standard errors and inference, and blinding. We argue that the concepts of internal and external validity as commonly used are unhelpful. We focus on how to use the results of RCTs, arguing that simple replication is rarely useful, but rather that the results of RCTs need to be combined with other knowledge and evidence, and used as part of a serious economic analysis. Examples are provided along the way.
Econometrics has helped to put many statistical models through trials, allowing companies to make better business decisions. There is however, a slight problem — econometric models often assume that data is normally distributed, or that two variables have a linear relationship. To unpick these assumptions, SMU Professor Su Liangjun from the School of Economics is developing new techniques in econometrics, that will help present a more realistic understanding of the economy.

The conference was held on the University of Chicago campus.
The conference gathered Professor Hansen's students and former colleagues to celebrate his achievement.
Please excuse me for not responding and for not commenting on your photos. I have injured the nerve in my right shoulder and cannot do much on my computer.
I have cropped this photo as suggested by My Friend Sylvia... I think she is right. It increases the dramatic intensity.

Il necessario per una giornata di studio di econometria. 30 kg di carta, due pacchi di pringles, una bottiglia di Schweppes. No, niente gin.
Guido Imbens is a scientist who builds bridges—between data and understanding, between correlation and causation, between abstract mathematical theory and real-world application. In a world flooded with information, he has spent his career developing methods to extract meaningful answers to some of the most pressing questions in economics and social science: What happens if we raise the minimum wage? Does a new medical treatment actually improve health outcomes? How do we measure the effect of education on future earnings?
Born in the Netherlands, Imbens trained as an econometrician but became, in many ways, a statistician at heart. He has a precise, almost engineering-like approach to problems, which has served him well in his work on causal inference—the study of how to determine cause-and-effect relationships from data. Alongside Joshua Angrist, his longtime collaborator, Imbens developed methods for using natural experiments—situations where external forces create conditions similar to a randomized trial—to uncover causal relationships. Their work, foundational to modern empirical research, earned them the 2021 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
When I photographed Imbens at his home near Stanford on February 20, 2025, I was struck by the world he had built around him. Books lined the shelves—more than just professional tomes on econometrics, but works of history, philosophy, and literature. The walls were filled with photographs, all his own, documenting the life of his family with the same dedication and care he applies to his research. Outside, among the quiet order of an academic’s world, was something unexpected: chickens. He raises them in his backyard, tending to them with the same quiet, methodical attention he gives to data and equations.
His wife, Susan Athey, a celebrated economist in her own right, was there as well. The two share not just a home but a lifetime of intellectual collaboration, an ongoing conversation about economics, technology, and policy. Though Imbens is deeply analytical, he is also warm and engaging, his penetrating eyes suggesting a mind always at work, always questioning. There is no arrogance in his brilliance—just a deep curiosity and a willingness to engage, to explain, to refine.
Though he is now well into an illustrious career, his work remains as relevant as ever. As machine learning and AI become dominant forces in research, Imbens is at the forefront of integrating these new tools with rigorous causal reasoning. His focus remains unchanged: ensuring that in our rush to analyze data, we do not lose sight of the deeper question—what causes what, and how can we be sure?
Even outside his formal research, Imbens has a scientist’s impulse to observe, to document. His photographs, like his econometric models, are about capturing relationships—not just moments in time, but the threads that connect them. His home, his research, his life’s work—all reflect the same principle: the search for clarity in a world of complexity.

Notes: A favorite target of the Bread and Puppet Theater demonstrations was Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara. A former executive with the Ford Motor Corporation, McNamara was perceived by the anti-war movement as the architect of America's escalation of the war and personification of the military-industrial complex. Renown for his logistical and econometrics approach to defense planning, McNamara was reduced to the caricature of a corporate death merchant as American casualties began to mount in the Vietnam War.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Langsdorff & Co. of 19, City Road, London E.C.
The card was posted in Burton-on-Trent using a ½d. stamp on Friday the 6th. September 1907 to:
Miss Elsie Ridgmond,
Plumpton,
Sussex.
There was also a brief pencilled message on the divided back of the card:
"Just going back to
Kingsbury from Leicester.
Having tea in Burton.
Best love from
Sissie.
Sept. 6th. 1907."
E. P. Kinsella
The artwork was by E. P. Kinsella. Patrick Russell Edmund Kinsella was born in Liverpool in 1875, the son of Peter "Pat" Kinsella, actor and singer, who toured the British music halls with his wife, Flora, and also ran a small music hall in Dublin.
When he moved to London to work as an illustrator and designer of theatrical sets and posters. he used the name Edmund Patrick Kinsella.
He married Emma Lilian Webber in late 1903, and they had three children: Ena (b. 1904), Peter (b. 1906) and Mary (known as Mollie, b. 1908).
In 1906 a design for a humorous postcard showing a boy playing cricket led to a successful series of postcards depicting boys, and girls, playing various sports.
During the Great War, Edmund and Horace Morgan formed the Kinsella & Morgan Film Company to make cartoons and live-action shorts for the War Aims Committee. Between 1917-18, Kinsella produced seven Kincartoons, as well as animated sequences for a live-action short.
Edmund illustrated several book-jackets in the early 1930's, signed E. P. K.
Edmund died at the age of 62 at his home in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, on the evening of the 8th. May 1936.
Sir Maurice Kendall
So what else happened on the day that Sissie posted the card?
Well, the 6th. September 1907 marked the birth of Maurice Kendall.
Sir Maurice George Kendall, FBA was a prominent British statistician. The Kendall tau rank correlation is named after him.
Sir Maurice Kendall - the Early Years
Maurice Kendall was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire as the only child of engineering worker John Roughton Kendall and Georgina, née Brewer. His paternal grandfather was a publican, running The Woolpack at Kettering.
As a child, he survived cerebral meningitis, which was frequently fatal at that time. After growing up in Derby, he studied mathematics at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he played cricket and chess (with future champions Conel Alexander and Jacob Bronowski).
After graduation as a Mathematics Wrangler in 1929, he joined the British Civil Service in the Ministry of Agriculture. In this position he became increasingly interested in using statistics for agricultural issues, and one of his first published papers to the Royal Statistical Society involved studying crop productivity using factor analysis. He was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1934.
Sir Maurice Kendall's Work in Statistics
In 1938 and 1939 he began work, along with Bernard Babington-Smith known as BBS, on the question of random number generation, developing one of the first early mechanical devices to produce random digits.
He also formulated a series of tests for statistical randomness in a given set of digits which, with some small modifications, became widely used.
Sir Maurice Kendall produced the second large collection of random digits (100,000 in total, over twice as many as those published by L. H. C. Tippett in 1927). This was a commonly used resource until the publication of RAND Corporation's A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates in 1955.
The Rand database was developed with a roulette wheel-like machine very similar to Kendall's, and verified as "random" using his statistical tests.
In 1937, Maurice aided the ageing statistician G. Udny Yule in the revision of his standard statistical textbook, Introduction to the Theory of Statistics, commonly known for many years as "Yule and Kendall". The two had met by chance in 1935, and were on close terms until Yule's death in 1951 (Yule was godfather to Kendall's second son).
During this period Kendall also began work on the rank correlation coefficient which currently bears his name (Kendall's tau), which eventually led to a monograph on Rank Correlation in 1948.
In the late 1930's, he was part of a group of five other statisticians who endeavoured to produce a reference work summarising recent developments in statistical theory, but it was cancelled on account of the onset of World War II.
Sir Maurice Kendall During WWII
Kendall became Assistant general manager to the British Chamber of Shipping by day, and had air-raid warden duties by night. Despite these constraints on his time, he managed to produce volume one of The Advanced Theory of Statistics in 1943, and a second volume in 1946.
During the war he also produced a series of papers extending the work of R. A. Fisher on the theory of k-statistics, and developed a number of extensions to this work through the 1950's.
After the war, Kendall worked on the theory and practice of time series analysis, and conclusively demonstrated (with the meager computing resources available at the time) that unsmoothed sample periodograms were unreliable estimators for the population spectrum.
Sir Maurice Kendall at the London School of Economics
In 1949 he accepted the second chair of statistics at the London School of Economics. Here he worked part-time as the director of the new Research Techniques Division.
From 1952 to 1957 Kendall edited a two-volume work on Statistical Sources in the United Kingdom, which was a standard reference until the mid-1970's. In the 1950's he also worked on multivariate analysis, and developed the text Multivariate Analysis in 1957.
In 1957, he also developed, with W. R. Buckland, a Dictionary of Statistical Terms, aimed at helping making the tools of statistics more available to potential users in industry and government.
In 1953, he published "The Analytics of Economic Time Series, Part 1: Prices" in which he suggested that the movement of shares on the stock market was random (as likely to go up on a certain day as to go down).
These results were disturbing to some financial economists, and further debate and research then followed. This ultimately led to the creation of the random walk hypothesis, and the closely related efficient-market hypothesis which states that random price movements indicate a well-functioning or efficient market.
Sir Maurice Kendall at CEIR and WFS
In 1961 he left the University of London and took a position as the managing director (later chairman) of a consulting company, CEIR (later known as Scientific Control Systems), and in the same year began a two-year term as president of the Royal Statistical Society.
In the 1960's he published and co-edited a number of volumes and monographs in statistical theory.
In 1972, Maurice Kendall became director of the World Fertility Survey, a project sponsored by the International Statistical Institute and the United Nations which aimed to study fertility in developed and developing nations. He continued this work until 1980, when illness forced him to retire.
Honours Awarded to Sir Maurice Kendall
Maurice was knighted by the British government in 1974 for his services to the theory of statistics, and received a medal from the United Nations in 1980 in recognition for his work on the World Fertility Survey.
He was also elected a fellow of the British Academy, and received the highest honour of the Royal Statistical Society, the Guy Medal in Gold.
Kendall additionally had served as president of the Operational Research Society, the Institute of Statisticians, and was elected a fellow of the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the Econometric Society, and the British Computer Society.
At the time of his death in on the 29th. March 1983, Sir Maurice Kendall was honorary president of the International Statistical Institute. Sir Maurice was 75 years of age when he died.
