Big-Data Initiative in International Macro-Finance

The initiative brings together each year a diverse group of 30 PhD students from schools worldwide for a three-day workshop on big data research in international macro-finance. Large-scale empirical work often presents specific challenges for PhD students entering the field. This initiative seeks to lower these barriers to entry by sharing knowledge, codes, and data as a starter-kit for new researchers. The initiative is co-sponsored by the Sloan Foundation and Stanford GSB.

This year the initiative will take place in person on August 2-3 at Stanford. All materials (videos, slides, data, and codes) are available on the initiative website.
