Causal Inference in Fintech? For Brave and True Only
From rural Brazil to one of the country’s largest banks, Matheus’ journey could inspire many.
Similarly to our previous guest, Iyar Lin, Matheus was interested in politics, but switched to economics, where he fell in love with math.
Observing the state of the industry, he quickly realized that without causality, we cannot answer some of the most interesting business questions.
His popular online book 'Causal Inference for The Brave and True' was a side effect of his strong drive to learn causal inference and causal machine learning, while collecting as much feedback as possible along the way.
Did he succeed?
