The Center for AI in Economic Social and Environmental Research (CAESER), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, formerly known as the Center for Applied Social and Economic Research (CASER), was established in December 2009, with a primary mission to promote quantitative analysis of social and economic issues and their impacts on human welfare in both Hong Kong and mainland China. With the support from the RGC-CPU Strategic Public Policy Research (2009-2014), the Center has conducted the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HK-PSSD), the first household panel survey in Hong Kong SAR.

Building on its strong foundation in quantitative social science, CAESER integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science into social, economic and environmental research. CAESER adopts a scientific and interdisciplinary approach to analyzing a broad range of issues, including innovation, education, employment, inequality and poverty, migration, health, transportation, environmental sustainability, and subjective wellbeing. Our research leverages machine learning algorithms, large-scale administrative and survey data, and advanced statistical modeling to generate robust, policy-relevant insights.
