Title : Textual Analysis for Hypotheses Testing

Download the presentation - 2.67 MB

Empirical testing has become the touchstone of sound economic theory, especially in the era of big data. In this session, we are going to explore some simple (and not-so-simple) algorithmic data reading techniques that may be applied to create novel datasets from textual documents to test hypotheses in social sciences. Applications include: court decisions, laws and regulations, contracts, codes of conduct, management reports, media news, etc.
