The Alan Turing Institute, the Data Science Campus of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are collaborating for the economic data science seminar series. The intended audience for these seminars includes both policymakers and academics, and the seminars will be overseen by a group of seminar partners made up of representatives of key stakeholder organizations.
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.
The first seminar speaker will be Professor Mihaela van der Schaar who will be providing a talk on Causal inference for individualized treatment effects: from theory to algorithms – link to her bio can be found here: https://www.turing.ac.uk/people/researchers/mihaela-van-der-schaar
