Venice Summer Institute 2023: Decision Making in Firms – Big Data and Management Practices

Scientific Organizers: Nicholas Bloom and Florian Englmaier

What data firms collect, how they use them, and whether they have tools in place that facilitate data driven decision making, including machine learning and AI based methods, is at the core of modern productivity studies. As is the question of what facilitates or hinders adoption of these modern methods. With this workshop the organizers brought together researchers to discuss the state of affairs and push the frontier of knowledge on these extremely important questions.
