Workshops Taught
The Empirical Economist’s Toolkit: Research with AI Agents
Universidad Francisco Marroquín | Fall 2026
A five-session workshop for economics students and faculty on using AI agents responsibly in empirical research: finding literature, building and merging datasets, writing and checking code, using AI “referees” to stress-test a draft, and sharing reproducible work on GitHub. The guiding rule: a tool is only as good as the judgment of the person using it.
