Background
Economic data science is a fledgling discipline. Applying the tools and techniques of data science to economic challenges offers rich new opportunities for measuring and understanding the economy.
One important challenge in realising the full benefits of the synthesis of data science and economics is in bringing economists and data scientists together to explore the collaborative opportunities.
The economic data science series has four objectives:
- to promote economic data science as a discipline
- to link researchers across institutions and disciplines and bring together the academic and policy communities
- to demonstrate cutting-edge applications of data science to economic questions to an audience of economists, data scientists and economic data scientists
- to provide a forum for addressing challenges in current work.
