Me right now after hearing back from Journal of Development Economics just accepted our paper on the effects of the revolution, Soviet aid and the embargo in Cuba

Thrilled to share a project I've been refining: a complete, open-source repository on "Deep Learning for Solving and Estimating Dynamic Models in Economics and Finance."
I've cleaned up the materials from my PhD classes and summer schools into one coherent resource. 🧵 1/6

How will AI affect our economies? In this new paper, we argue that macroeconomic policies may determine whether we will face an AI slump or an AI boom. Spoiler: monetary policy alone may have a hard time sustaining an AI boom, employment subsidies/cuts in labor taxes can help.

A big new release for Quantitative Economics with Julia 🎉 🎉 🎉

Thanks @jlperla for the overview — lots of improvements ❣️❣️❣️

Venezuela isn't Panama, Irak, Syria, or Libya.

It's... Venezuela, with its own troubled sociopolitical context.

Beware 'authoritative' opinions about the country's recent events and prospects coming from those unfamiliar with the country's complex reality.

What is behind Europe's productivity problem? A large productivity gap relative to the US in the tech sector & low business dynamism. Two factors driving this: smaller market size and lower access to finance relative to the US. The fix: Deepen the EU single market. Read more here: https://t.co/f1QTnQGakE

Wow, a new dataset with monetary policy shocks. This might be very valuable!

Can Europe match the US in paying top academics? Why is it so hard for continental Europe to build world-class universities? In today's piece on Silicon Continent, I explore funding, academic excellence, and how to ensure Europe can compete in research.

Free to access first-year graduate macro textbook available here, great resource!

I’ve done a big update of my notes on computation for heterogeneous-agent macro. They start with the endogenous grid method and end with by solving a HANK model using sequence space Jacobians. Codes are in Julia. https://t.co/ZIPPpb1fpl

[Matteo Maggiori @m_maggiori]

We held the 4th edition of the Big-Data Initiative in International Macro and Finance.

There is a new website with all the slides, videos, codes, and data. A starter kit for anyone interested in doing research in international macro:

5th Behavioral Macroeconomics Workshop taking place at @Econ_UniBA. As usual, including great speakers and plural approaches: agent-based models, stock-flow consistent models, natural language processing, experiments, time series and more. Congrats to the organizing team!
