    Testing...

    WoW thank you so much for the introduction! Actually I am not an Econ PhD yet, but applying for it right now, thus I want to bias my application to departments with exposure to this field. I can't say what specific topic I'm particularly interested in, as I haven't really entered the field. But I definitely want to dive into the area. What I'm expecting for myself (or imagination, illusion?) is that I will become a professional research economist in the industry (tech companies like you mentioned, or big financial institution) who has the ability to utilize ML/DL/AI techniques to solve economics problems, maybe estimations, maybe predictions, and etc. Would you kindly provide advice on schools or specific faculty I should apply for? Thanks!

    Hello guys! I have posted an evaluation thread in the Econ phd forum, and somebody kindly recommends to have a try in finance. So any comments on my profile for a finance phd application? Thanks! Undergrad: BS in Applied Math in a Top 10 Chinese university. GPA 3.5, but some bad grades for Calculus (around 70) Masters: MS in Financial Math in a Top 10 (or Top 15?) U.S. university. GPA 3.9. GRE: 166 Q/ 162 V/ 3.5 A Math courses: my major was math... Recommendation: 1. econ professor (I have been his RA for almost a year, and publish two working paper on his institute website) 2. applied math professor whose research field is quant finance (I did two research projects with her, paper write-up but not published) 3. applied math professor whose research field is machine learning (we did a deep learning project together) Research: 1. Two working papers (one macro/currency, one commodity market) with the Econ professor mentioned above. 2. One research project paper (commodity market) with the second professor mentioned above. 3. A stock prediction project using deep learning with the third professor mentioned above. Teaching: TA in two derivatives and investment related courses in the business school of our university. Concerns: 1. No formal publications 2. My undergrad GPA is not top level. Applying: I have not picked my schools yet. Any advice? I really wanna go to a top tier or somewhat "good" university. How big is the possibility here... Thank you very much!

    Just want to check what you guys think about the application of data mining/machine learning/deep learning and other AI techniques in economics field. I heard that some researchers have been doing this, but haven't looked at their work yet. Also wonder if any PhD programs pay specific attention to this track? Thanks!

    Thanks for the comment! Financial Economics. And I'm also interested in the application of data mining/machine learning/deep learning techniques in Econ, though not sure if this is a good track to follow...
