Workshop Description:

AI-Driven Econometric Modeling

Participants gain practical skills in combining traditional econometric techniques with modern machine-learning tools for stronger prediction, inference, and analytical accuracy.

A compact and intensive 10-hour live, online training designed to equip participants with modern skills at the intersection of econometrics, machine learning, and applied data science. This workshop blends theory with hands-on practice, enabling participants to apply AI-enhanced tools for forecasting, causal inference, policy analysis, financial modeling, and climate-related analytics. Participants will learn how to


  • Integrate AI and machine-learning techniques with traditional econometric models to improve prediction and inference.
  • Clean, preprocess, and engineer features from real-world economic and financial datasets.
  • Apply supervised and unsupervised ML methods(e.g., random forests, gradient boosting, clustering) for empirical economic analysis.
  • Estimate causal effects using modern tools such as Causal ML, synthetic control, and treatment-effect algorithms.
  • Build advanced time-series forecasting models including hybrid econometric–ML systems, LSTM networks, and Prophet-based forecasts.
  • Run scenario analysis and generate automated reports for policy evaluation, financial risk assessment, and climate-related projections.
  • Create interactive dashboards and visualizations for communicating complex analytical results effectively.
  • Implement hands-on case studies using real data from economics, public policy, finance, and climate analytics.


Advanced Forecasting

Hands-on training in ML-based forecasting (LSTM, Prophet) and causal methods (Causal ML, synthetic control, treatment effects) applied to real economic and policy data.

Applied Data Science and Visualization

Learners build dashboards, automate reporting, and perform big-data exploration using Python and modern visualization tools to support real-world decision-making.

Workshop Highlights



  • 5-Day online weekend (Saturdays and Sundays) workshop, totaling 15 hours.


  • Practical simulation tutorials using Python, R and Power BI


  • Live interactions with a moderator will be

    facilitated, offering participants the opportunity to ask questions and engage in extended discussions.


  • Participants work directly with real datasets from economics, finance, policy, and climate studies, gaining skills they can apply immediately in their own work.


  • Develop forecasting models using neural networks (LSTM/GRU), hybrid ML–econometric approaches, and scenario-based forecasting.
