AT THE FINAL IN MILAN
Join teams from across Europe* to develop an original applied economics paper under time pressure.
Participate as a team and explore how AI can support research while keeping economic reasoning and human judgement at the centre of your work.
*For the purposes of this competition, Europe refers to the member states of the Council of Europe.
What Will Your Team Produce?
Each round starts with a prompt on a broad economic topic. Your team chooses an original, economically relevant question and develops an empirical strategy to answer it. You will work with data, assess the credibility of your findings through robustness checks and alternative specifications, and bring the results together in a concise research paper, suitable under the time constraints.
​​
AI can, and must, support the research process within the competition’s rules. Teams remain responsible for their research choices and must follow the competition Rulebooks.
