From Data to Decisions: The centre was established in 2025 in response to the rapid growth in the volume of economic and financial information and the need for theoretically grounded tools for its analysis. We bring together economists, statisticians, and data engineers to develop and implement methods that turn big data into clear insights for the government, banks, and business.
Our Mission is to push the boundaries of knowledge in the field of big data econometrics and to train a new generation of researchers who are equally confident in theory, programming code, and applied tasks.
Key Research Areas:
- Theory for Ultra-Large Data
High dimensionality, heterogeneity, heavy tails, and endogeneity—we derive new asymptotics and create robust estimation methods. - Non-Parametrics and AI
Smoothing splines, LASSO regularisation, tree ensembles, and deep learning models—we develop algorithms with proven convergence properties. - Applied Analytics
Macro- and micro-finance, market forecasting, risk assessment, and evaluation of government policy effectiveness—we turn models into working solutions. - Education and Community
Master's courses, summer schools, and open seminars connect learning with real-world projects and the publication culture of Top Five journals. - Partnerships and Consulting
Joint research and implementation projects with the Central Bank, leading commercial banks, IT companies, and government authorities.
