The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, will hold a tutorial on Digital Economics and Artificial Intelligence for economics graduate students who have completed at least two years of Ph.D. course work. The meeting will take place from 9 AM-6 PM on Wednesday February 12, 2025.
The tutorial will introduce research topics on digital economics and AI and provide participants with an opportunity to hear presentations by, and to interact with, research leaders. Participants will also be invited to attend the NBER Digital Economics and AI meetings, also at Stanford University, on February 13.
