How Data Science Can Help Avoid the Next Recession
When will the next recession hit? How long can China sustain its high-growth rate? What types of jobs will drive the global economy?
Our best guesses to these questions often come from lagging data or incomplete surveys, which then flows to policymakers, markets, and the public.
But there's good news: economists now have access to more real-time and complete data than ever before. With vast information from search engines, social media, and even satellites, they can help identify trends and spot trouble areas.
In this panel, you'll hear from analysts working to make this opportunity a reality at jobsite Indeed, Google, and satellite imaging company SpaceKnow.
