The Master of Science in Economics at Ahmedabad University is designed for students who want to engage deeply with questions of the economy and the society using data, computation, and rigorous analysis. The programme combines strong foundations in economic theory with advanced training in statistics, machine learning, and applied data analytics. Graduates are prepared for careers across industry, policy, research, and academia, as well as for doctoral study.

I am super excited to share a new AI tool, Refine.
Refine thoroughly studies research papers like a referee and finds issues with correctness, clarity, and consistency.
In my own papers, it regularly catches problems that my coauthors and I missed.

I want to share some inspiring posts about the job market that have helped me during tough times. I hope they can motivate others as well!

Job market season! When I was on the market I had a disappointing start (150 applications, 1 interview). I decided to explore what factors correlate with academic and private interviews. Not sure if this holds today, but perhaps it can help job seekers!

In data analysis, 99% of the knowledge is generated in the journey — cleaning, testing, validating, exploring.
If you outsource this to an LLM (Hi Claude, please clean this dataset and generate me a graph), you will learn little and very often get the wrong answer. 1/

Every year in January, Ahmedabad University hosts the Annual Economics Conference, bringing together economists, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners from across India and the world to share their work, challenge ideas, and explore solutions to real-world problems.
The 7th Annual Economics Conference invites you to join this tradition of inquiry and dialogue.
If your research asks tough questions, uncovers new patterns, or offers fresh ways of looking at economic and financial systems, this is your stage. Present your work to an audience of peers, policy makers, industry leaders, and fellow researchers.

Prediction: the trend of rising co-authors on papers in economics will revert, as AI can automate many tasks in idea generation, data cleaning, writing, robustness checks, etc. More solo authored papers.
