NeurIPS'26 Workshop
Atlanta, Saturday, December 12, 2026
EconML brings together researchers from machine learning, economics, game theory, and related fields to map the economic consequences of ML's growing success, anticipate emerging risks, and develop economic interventions that support long-term sustainability and benefit. The workshop bridges micro-scale mechanism design and market-level analysis, and we welcome contributions that connect economic ideas to core questions in theoretical and applied machine learning.
The workshop is organized around two complementary ways that economics and machine learning can inform one another:
Rediet Abebe
ELLIS Institute; MPI‑IS; Tübingen AI Center
Sarah Cen
Carnegie Mellon University
Yiling Chen
Harvard University
Nikhil Garg
Cornell Tech
Haifeng Xu
University of Chicago
We invite submissions that connect economic ideas to core questions in theoretical and applied machine learning.
Alongside the paper program, EconML will host Graduation Spotlights, a lightning-talk session for participants approaching graduation or who have recently graduated. Each participant will have 5 minutes to introduce themselves however they see fit: by presenting an interesting problem or result, sharing an overview of their research, or describing questions they are curious about and plan to pursue next.
Participation does not require a submission to the workshop, and participants presenting a paper are equally welcome to take a slot. Slots are limited and will be allocated with an eye toward breadth across topics, institutions, and career stages. Presentations will be given in-person in Atlanta.
