https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/12/staff-analytical-note-2023-17/
We assess the complex macroeconomic implications of Canada’s recent population increases. We find that newcomers significantly boost the non-inflationary, potential growth of the economy, but existing imbalances in the housing sector may be exacerbated. Greater housing supply is needed to complement the long-term economic benefits of population growth.2023-12-07T12:35:52+00:00enAssessing the effects of higher immigration on the Canadian economy and inflation2023-12-07Machine learning for economics research: when, what and how

This article reviews selected papers that use machine learning for economics research and policy analysis. Our review highlights when machine learning is used in economics, the commonly preferred models and how those models are used.2023-10-27T12:00:04+00:00enMachine learning for economics research: when, what and how2023-10-27Redefining Financial Inclusion for a Digital Age: Implications for a Central Bank Digital Currency
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/10/staff-discussion-paper-2023-22/
We explore quantitative and qualitative information about Canadians who face barriers to making digital payments. We also consider the implications of ongoing digitalization for modern financial inclusion and a potential central bank digital currency.2023-10-04T14:28:10+00:00enRedefining Financial Inclusion for a Digital Age: Implications for a Central Bank Digital Currency2023-10-04AccessibilityBank notesCentral bank researchDigital currencies and fintechDigitalizationFinancial servicesStaff Discussion Paper 2023-22https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sdp2023-22.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2023-22Alexandra Sutton-LalaniSebastian HernandezJohn MiedemaJiamin DaiBadr OmraneOctober 2023AA1A14EE4E42E5E50II3I31OO3O33O5O51Predicting Changes in Canadian Housing Markets with Machine Learning
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/09/staff-discussion-paper-2023-21/
We apply two machine learning algorithms to forecast monthly growth of house prices and existing homes sales in Canada. Although the algorithms can sometimes outperform a linear model, the improvement in forecast accuracy is not always statistically significant.2023-09-29T13:04:48+00:00enPredicting Changes in Canadian Housing Markets with Machine Learning2023-09-29Econometric and statistical methodsFinancial marketsHousingStaff Discussion Paper 2023-21https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/sdp2023-21.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2023-21Johan BrannlundHelen LaoMaureen MacIsaacJing YangSeptember 2023ACC4C45C5C53DD2RR2R3Estimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement Learning
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/02/staff-working-paper-2021-7/
We demonstrate the ability of reinforcement learning techniques to estimate the best-response functions of banks participating in high-value payments systems—a real-world strategic game of incomplete information.2021-02-01T09:44:50+00:00enEstimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement Learning2021-02-01Digital currencies and fintechFinancial institutionsFinancial system regulation and policiesPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2021-7https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/swp2021-7.pdfEstimating Policy Functions in Payments Systems Using Reinforcement LearningPablo S.
