• Abstract: Forecasting economic growth of India has been traditionally an uncertain exercise. The indicators and factors affecting economic structures and the variables required to model that captures the situation correctly is point of concern. Although the forecast should be specific to the country we are looking at however countries do have interlinkages among them. As the time series can be more volatile and sometimes certain variables are unavailable it is harder to predict for the developing economies as compared to stable and developed nations. However it is very important to have accurate forecasts for economic growth for successful policy formations. One of the hypothesized indicators is the nighttime lights. Here we aim to look for a relationship between GDP and Nighttime lights. Specifically we look at the DMSP and VIIRS dataset. We are finding relationship between various measures of economy.

  We study a collective risk dilemma where agents decide whether to trust predictions based on past accuracy. As predictions shape collective outcomes, social welfare arises naturally as a metric of concern. We show how to achieve better trade-offs and use them for mechanism design.

  We design a conceptual fine-grained causal model named TBN Granger Causality. Second, we propose an end-to-end deep generative model called TacSas, which discovers TBN Granger Causality in a generative manner. We test TacSas on climate benchmark ERA5 for climate forecasting and the extreme weather benchmark of NOAA for extreme weather alerts.

  We deal with air quality observations in a city-wide network of ground monitoring stations. We propose a conditioning block that embeds past and future covariates into the current observations. We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

• Forecasting Electricity Prices [0.0]
  Power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and consumption. The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources is not offset by the costly increase of electricity storage capacities. There is a shift from the relatively parsimonious econometric (or statistical) models towards more complex and harder to comprehend. Case studies compare profits from scheduling or trading strategies based on price forecasts obtained from different models.
