Preface

Machine Learning for Economics

This book provides a practical introduction to machine learning for graduate students in economics. It bridges theoretical foundations with hands-on implementation, helping economists apply modern ML techniques to their research.

The book assumes a basic familiarity with Python, at the level of my ‘A Little Python’.

This is an early draft. Apologies for the typos. Expect frequent changes.
