The course provides a working introduction to big data, both large n and large p, a new generation of prediction methods, a.k.a. machine learning, as well as the use of these methods for causal inference, i.e., causal machine learning. The hard part of empirical research in a data-rich environment is to raise good questions and do good data. To this end, we go through examples of the initial off-the-shelf applications of machine learning to economics. We then present highlights and empirical studies from the emerging econometric literature combining machine learning and causal inference. Mastery of techniques taught in a class demonstrated through the completion of a capstone project.
The purpose of the course is to arm students with a solid knowledge of python programming in application to business tasks and real-life purposes. And to introduce the applicable machine learning and deep learning techniques. As an outcome, students who will finish the course will be capable to use the obtained knowledge for the business analytics
