Data Science for Practical Economic Research

Data Science for Practical Economic Research
This course is a companion-course of the course on Deep Learning offered by Dr. Michal Fabinger as well as the course on Applied Microeconomic Research offered by Prof. Andrew Griffen.

In this course we will study the fundamentals of Machine Learning. Topics include:
- Supervised machine learning: under-fitting and over-fitting, regularization, cross-validation, data augmentation.
- Unsupervised machine learning: clustering, factor analysis, principal component analysis, independent component analysis.
- Semi-supervised learning.

We will study the theoretical as well as practical aspects of these methods. While covering the methods, we will look at economics papers that are using these methods.

Students will be asked to find a "big" dataset (more than 20GB) and try all the methods we cover in class on this data set. This way, students will learn practical aspects of dealing with big datasets that cannot be loaded into RAM.

Students will be encouraged to use either R or Python.
