Bay Area Tech Economics Seminars

The Bay Area Tech Economics Seminars (BATES) bring together a vibrant community of graduate-trained economists and quantitative social scientists from academia, policy, and industry who share an interest in the technology economy and in the methods used to study it.

These seminars feature cutting-edge research on topics such as platform markets, digital labor, innovation, AI, and data-driven policy, while creating space for thoughtful discussion and meaningful connections across disciplines and sectors.

The series is co-sponsored by the University of San Francisco's Master's in Applied Economics and the Stanford Causal Science Center, and welcomes participants from across the broader Bay Area research community.
