AI Economics
Housed in the Center for Economic Research, the AI Economics program supports research, teaching and dissertation supervision as part of the Department of Economics at the George Washington University.
This research program supports and promotes research on areas of intersection between economics and artificial intelligence (AI). Broadly, this includes two areas of research. The first is the economics of AI. Rapid advances in AI and other forms of automation have important implications for growth, labor markets, economic inequality and regulatory and economic policy issues. This program supports research involving theoretical and empirical analysis of the wide-ranging potential impacts on the economic behavior of individuals, markets and the economy. The second area of research includes empirical research that leverages tools of AI, such as machine learning and natural language processing, in its analysis, and methodological research that pushes the frontier on how these tools can be used in combination with the traditional methods of econometrics and forecasting to conduct empirical research in economics.
