The art of uncovering insights and trends in data has been around since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used census data to increase efficiency in tax collection and accurately predicted the Nile River's flooding every year. Since then, people have continued to use data to derive insights and predict outcomes. Recently, they have carved out a unique and distinct field for the work they do. This field is data science. In today's world, we use Data Science to find patterns in data and make meaningful, data-driven conclusions and predictions. This course is for everyone and teaches concepts like how data scientists use machine learning and deep learning and how companies apply data science in business. You will meet several data scientists, who will share their insights and experiences in data science. By taking this introductory course, you will begin your journey into this thriving field.

Do you want to know why data science has been labeled the sexiest profession of the 21st century? After taking this course, you will be able to answer this question, understand what data science is and what data scientists do, and learn about career paths in the field.
National Bank of Slovakia Visiting Researcher Programme
Candidates may pursue their own proposed research project upon agreement with the National Bank of Slovakia. We expect the project to be undertaken in close collaboration with our staff members. Alternatively, candidates may opt for one of the following areas: Topic 1: Transmission of monetary policy: bank-firm channel analysis using granular data The primary objective is to investigate and quantitatively evaluate how specific characteristics of firms and banks affect the pass-through of monetary policy. We aim to utilize loan-level data from the credit registry, enriched with detailed financial reports from individual banks and firms. The country coverage may vary depending on the final scope of the project. While the primary focus will be on the transmission of monetary policy, we may also consider the interaction of monetary policy with macroprudential or other policies or shocks. The ideal candidate is expected to have expertise in monetary policy transmission and strong methodological skills. We are seeking a candidate with willingness to work closely with the NBS staff. Please note that access to confidential data is restricted to NBS staff; collaborative arrangements will be facilitated as required. Topic 2: Macroeconomic and inflation expectations of professional forecasters Since 2007, the National Bank of Slovakia has been compiling monthly macroeconomic forecasts from Slovak professional forecasters. An analysis comparing the forecast errors of these professional forecasters with the National Bank's official forecasts reveals that, while professional forecasters predict GDP growth with comparable accuracy to the central bank, their inflation forecasts are significantly less accurate. We invite applications for a visiting researcher position connected to this project. The ideal candidate will have expertise in the theoretical literature on macroeconomic expectations and will collaborate on elucidating the formation of inflation expectations among Slovak professional forecasters. The expected output of the program should take the form of NBS Working Paper, at the minimum.
We seek researchers who can complement and enhance our current projects. Candidates can propose their preferred topic within these research areas: Monetary Policy Transmission and Inflation Pass-Through Macroprudential Policy and Real Estate Structural Developments with a Focus on Micro-Data Economic and Financial Effects of Climate Change and Mitigation Policies We also encourage applications from early-career academics for to apply as Junior Visiting Researchers. You'll receive dedicated support from our team while working on these engaging topics.
We are looking for experienced, policy-oriented academics. We also encourage applications from early-career academics for to apply as Junior Visiting Researchers.
