European Winter Meeting of the Econometric Society, hosted by the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics
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.

Professor of Statistics, 1944-1973
'Roy Allen retired after forty-five years on the staff of the School in 1973. Born in 1906, he came as an Assistant Lecturer direct from Cambridge after graduating with a first in mathematics. His job was to teach mathematics and statistics under Bowley but he got interested in economics and quickly achieved international fame for his collaborative work with Hicks on the theory of value...Appointed to the Chair of Statistics in 1944, Sir Roy has always been prepared to do more than his fair share of the less glamorous and more arduous tasks of academic administration. He has served as an Academic Governor and a member of the University Senate. His unflappable temperament, practical wisdom and administrative ingenuity have helped to resolve many a difficult problem in the running of the School...Always active in the interests of the statistical profession, he has been president of the Royal Statistical Society and the Econometric Society and has held various offices in the Institute of Statisticians, the International Statistical Institute and the Royal Economic Society. He was made a fellow of the British Academy in 1952, a C.B.E in 1954 and was knighted in 1966. His main outside interest has been public affairs and he has usually been the first person the Government turned to when it needed advice from the outside on statistical matters..."LSE Magazine, November 1943 No:46, p.9

Similar to the previous chart (http://www.flickr.com/photos/15278175@N02/3746312934/), but with a least-squares linear projection out through December 2020. Yes, not the best method for projecting growth, but whatcha gonna do when it's been more than five years since you took econometrics and all you have is Excel?

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.

I have been playing with my camera all day. I've got a couple of exams coming up that I perhaps should be studying for. On the other hand, this calms me down and makes me better able to focus when I do sit down to appreciate the beauty of corporate finance and econometrics...

Accidentally ISO-800 after last night, but you can't even tell from the pics.
Setup consists of a setting sun to the top left and an uplight floorlamp tipped over a chair on the lower left, facing the... subject. No idea where the blue came from. The backdrop is a stack of copy papers.
