Economic Data Science

Welcome to the Economic Data Science research group! Our team specialises in causal analysis, machine learning and social data science. We use large administrative and other 'big' datasets to provide insights for public and private policies. We aim to bridge academic research with real-world applications and provide recommendations for evidence-based decision making.
