Machine learning, neural networks and large-language models are swiftly being adopted in economic research. Currently, the use of generative AI is actively explored and embraced by economist in academia, central banks, think tanks and the financial sector. This workshop brings together cutting-edge research in two specific areas: first, the solving and estimation of economic models and, second, business cycle and inflation forecasting.
