@Isabel_Schnabel Thanks, Isabel, for engaging with us. A very stimulating discussion!
Interesting discussion with German-speaking economists about monetary policy, financial stability risks from AI, oil markets, the inflationary impact of fiscal policy, central bank communication and the ability of economies to adapt to shocks.
Just posted some new lecture slides: *Reinforcement Learning for Economists* RL ideas are very powerful, yet criminally underused in economics. I think mostly because RL is not typically taught in grad school -- let's change that! All materials here benjaminmoll.com/lectures/
