About the method

Econometrics applies statistical techniques to test relationships, measure impacts, and evaluate causal effects, while machine learning identifies complex patterns and enhances predictive accuracy. Together, they allow researchers to analyse large and diverse datasets, uncovering trends and insights that guide evidence-based policymaking, improve forecasts, and strengthen the design of effective interventions.
