For all of our machine learning and economics researchers—don't forget to submit your papers for the first Machine Learning in Economics Summer Conference (MLESC) by this Friday, 03/29. We would love to read your work! buff.ly/3IVaY5T

What an awesome paper. arxiv.org/pdf/2404.05006…

Cemmap/UCL and FGV/EPGE are co-organising "Econometrics in Rio" (twice)! If you are in the Beautiful City in June (see below) or August and looking for some econometrics, check the event website (doity.com.br/econometrics-i…) for registration details to attend.

Commencement is underway at UNC-Chapel Hill, but some of us went to Montreal to celebrate the career of Eric Ghysels, which began here. Next year, Eric can celebrate his 25 anniversary at UNC Economics Eric Ghysels

We have released a revised version of our paper titled "Long Story Short: Omitted Variable Bias in Causal Learning." You can find it at arxiv.org/abs/2112.13398. In the paper, we (Análise Real; Vasilis Syrgkanis) derive the OVB formula for nonlinear models and develop sensitivity

Monash Uni. hosts the 2024 Australasia Meeting of the Econometric Soc. Send your work and join a great group of researchers for a productive week in beautiful Melbourne Summer! The conference takes place from 4th Dec to 6th Dec. Deadline July, 19th! esam2024.org

I repeat: investment in research is the engine of economic development.

nature Nice to see that applied AI folks recognize that the choice of the loss function is important: nature.com/articles/d4158… Econometricians have been working on this for decades, e.g. see references in our paper with Eric Ghysels: arxiv.org/abs/2010.08463

Looks consistent across different platforms/markets.

Just learned a very sad news that Yinghua He, YingHua He, passed away earlier this week, marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2024/07/yinghu… I took his applied econometrics class at TSE before he moved to Rice Economics. My thoughts are with his friends and family. His research: sites.google.com/site/yinghuahe

I started my new role as the Editor-in-Chief of Econometric Reviews on August 1.

Econometric Reviews (ER) has just launched its X account. We greatly appreciate any feedback you may have for the journal.

Editorial letter from the Editor-in-Chief Yuya Sasaki. His highest priority is to reduce the total review time. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

We're hiring a teaching position, focus on macro and metrics. Deadline is very soon on 10/15. If you're interested, or know someone that might be, please reach out. Please share #EconTwitter. aeaweb.org/joe/listing.ph…

We'll be hiring 3 tenure-track assistant professors this year. UNC Economics is getting younger and better with each hire. Please share #EconTwitter! unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288858

Check out Alex Marsh who is doing cool work. Grateful for U.S. National Science Foundation support.

Nobel Prize in Physics for neural networks and machine learning. Unexpected, but well-deserved.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 was awarded to two scholars for their foundational discoveries that enabled the development of artificial neural networks (ANN). Econometric Reviews had featured an article on ANN as early as 1994. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.”
