CABE/TABE Webinar – New Tools of the Trade

CABE/TABE Webinar – Experiments with High-Frequency Data and Machine Learning for Macro with the Bank of Canada

 

We are pleased to announce the continuation of our webinar series: New Tools of the Economists’ Trade.

Our first webinar this fall profiles several Bank of Canada experiments with high-frequency economic data and machine learning for macroeconomics. Bank of Canada researchers James Fudurich, Jeff Mollins and Naveen Rai will highlight their experience with high-frequency survey and payment data, as well as developing large language models to analyze survey responses. They will share how they are deploying machine learning tools to glean new insights about the economy and extract more information from traditional data sources. They will also discuss advantages and real-world challenges of combining higher-frequency data with traditional data.

Join us to learn about these innovative approaches in economic research and analysis! And to learn more about the series or suggest a topic or speaker, please contact Danielle Goldfarb at danielle.goldfarb@utoronto.ca.
