PhD research project
The research project intends to develop a model to forecast food demand implementing econometrics and machine learning methodologies. The development and implementation of hybrid econometric-machine learning models represent the innovative elements of the research project, since these models are still hardly considered in the analysis of economic phenomena affecting the agri-food sector.
