Part of the goal of BEACH is to bring together researchers working in Economics and Computing in the Boston area across disciplines and institutions together. To this end, we hold semesterly workshops called "BEACH Day"s on focused topics in Economics and Computing. See previous and future workshops below. Return home for more details about our calendar, mailing list, researchers, and other resources.
Join us for our upcoming BEACH Day this November 18! Our topic will be Predictions for Decision Making: Scoring Rules, Calibration, and Information Elicitation at Boston University, organized by Kira Goldner and Divyarthi Mohan. The schedule will include a mixture of hour-long bootcamp-style talks and shorter half-hour talks on recent work. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
Location: The workshop will take place in room 1750 (17th floor) at the BU Duan Center for Computing & Data Sciences, 665 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215.
