TABE/CABE Webinar – AI and Macro Nowcasting 3.0: Assessing Soft Landing 1-3 Months Early

TABE and CABE are pleased to announce the fourth speaker in our webinar series: New Tools of the Economists’ Trade. Apurv Jain, CEO and Founder of MacroXStudio will explore how macro nowcasting is making a quantum leap from models using lagged and low-quality government data to using AI and alternative data to deliver a deep and real-time understanding of the global financial system. There will be a live demonstration that tracks economic activity in real-time and wage growth months early and showcases city-level nowcasts and a chatbot that updates slides. Apurv will share how MacroX’s multimodal AI framework helped it rapidly scale 300+ signals across 35 countries, including Canada. This session will build on Apurv’s recent remarks at Davos and book chapter on ML and alt data for nowcasting, in which he explores how easily accessible, high-quality economic information coupled with LLMs will be a transformative force for economic and social progress.

About the series: The digitization of our economies has led to an explosion of more granular, real-time data. Combined with rapid growth in new technologies, techniques, compute power, and generative AI tools, the tools of the economists’ trade have the potential to change dramatically. This series is an opportunity to learn more about how economists and others are experimenting with these new datasets, techniques, and approaches.

This session has been organized and will be moderated by Danielle Goldfarb, with technical assistance from Alex Ciappara and Erik Johnson – all members of the TABE Board of Directors.
