Our world is characterized by globalization, financialization, deepening inequalities and mounting environmental issues. It is also characterized by a growing availability of massive, diverse datasets, and of increasingly sophisticated statistical and computational tools to gather and analyze them. EMbeDS overarching goal is to bring Economics and Management in the era of Data Science, leveraging data and tools to bridge the gaps that still exist between complex models, their empirical validation, and their use in policy. Within the path delineated by research funding and engagement initiatives at the Italian, European and United Nations levels, our scientific aim is to better understand the relationships between innovation, employment, growth, social and environmental sustainability. Our policy aim is to identify public- and private-sector strategies to manage socio-economic and environmental change, and the corresponding evolution of our welfare systems.
