ECBS is happy to announce that István Boza, the department's former PhD student, received the prestigious "Junior Prima" award for young scholars in Hungary:
For those who could not attend and for those who enjoyed it so much that want to watch it again! The good news is that the ‘Stata vs R vs Python’ debate’s recording is available on CEU’s YouTube channel:
Watch it, share it and celebrate the winner! Don’t forget the suggestion of the debaters they all agreed on: ‘Choose one of the programming languages and be really good at it! Learn additional ones later!’
The book Econometrics with Machine Learning edited by László Mátyás, professor of economics at CEU and Felix Chan of Curtin University (Perth, Australia) is published by Springer Nature. It helps and promotes the use of machine learning tools and techniques in econometrics and explains how they can enhance and expand the econometrics toolbox in theory and in practice. Several chapters have been written with the contribution of CEU-Economics faculty and advanced doctoral students.
