This is a great paper by Mitsuru Igami framing breakthrough AI algorithms in the familiar logic of structural economic model estimation. doi.org/10.1093/ectj... But by implication, if structural models behave like board games, such as Chess and Go, how high can their degree of realism really be?

Hello everyone! I teach a class for graduate students on methods for reproducible research. 🔧 🔢 I would interested to hear about the barriers you face in implementing reproducible practices in your research (e.g., version control, code review, reproducible documents).

Question for my #EvidenceSynthesis #MetaAnalysis #SystematicReview folks: I'm organizing the 2025 meeting of the Society for Research Synthesis Methods (www.srsm.org). Currently working on the call for submissions, which it has me dreaming about sessions I would love to see at the conference....

I've created a #healtheconomics starter pack! There's a few other great packs out there but in this one I've tried to make it more international! 🌎 Let me know if you'd like to be added or if you have recommendations. And feel free to share! go.bsky.app/8Lj8FLB
