just attended a presentation of this paper in Lund -- excellent stuff! very exciting about new methods to grapple with problems with scarce data in economic history -- here, applied to wages in England since the 1200s.
thank you @mmpaker.bsky.social !
Can’t wait to share this work at Oxford on Wednesday! Come learn how we can use machine learning to help with the problem of scarce data in history

Next week 12th March @mmpaker.bsky.social will give a paper nuffield.ox.ac.uk/news-events/ev… about how we’re using machine learning to predict seven centuries of wages better than a regression ever could ! Hope to see you there
