TLDR
This work presents a way of thinking about machine learning that gives it its own place in the econometric toolbox, and aims to make them conceptually easier to use by providing a crisper understanding of how these algorithms work, where they excel, and where they can stumble.Abstract:
Machines are increasingly doing “intelligent” things. Face recognition algorithms use a large dataset of photos labeled as having a face or not to estimate a function that predicts the pre...read more

Predicting the Future - Big Data, Machine Learning, and Clinical Medicine.
TL;DR: The algorithms of machine learning, which can sift through vast numbers of variables looking for combinations that reliably predict outcomes, will improve prognosis, displace much of the work of radiologists and anatomical pathologists, and improve diagnostic accuracy.

The Measure and Mismeasure of Fairness: A Critical Review of Fair Machine Learning.
Sam Corbett-Davies,Sharad Goel +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that it is often preferable to treat similarly risky people similarly, based on the most statistically accurate estimates of risk that one can produce, rather than requiring that algorithms satisfy popular mathematical formalizations of fairness.

Financial time series forecasting with deep learning : A systematic literature review: 2005–2019
TL;DR: A comprehensive literature review on DL studies for financial time series forecasting implementations and grouped them based on their DL model choices, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Decisions and Machine Predictions
TL;DR: While machine learning can be valuable, realizing this value requires integrating these tools into an economic framework: being clear about the link between predictions and decisions; specifying the scope of payoff functions; and constructing unbiased decision counterfactuals.

A False Sense of Security: The Impact of Forecast Uncertainty on Hurricane Damages
TL;DR: The authors examined the impact of 12-hour-ahead forecasts on hurricane damages and found that larger errors in the storm's predicted landfall location lead to higher damages, and the cumulative reduction in damages from forecast improvements since 1970 is about $82 billion.

What Comprises Effective Formal Elder Care at Home? Estimating Effects for Combinations of Multiple Services
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed a regression analysis, using combinations of care services as cross-dummy explanatory variables to estimate the effects for combinations of multiple services in formal elder care at home on health status.
