Description
Workshop Overview
This workshop aims to bring together cutting-edge results and new developments in Agent based models applied to political economy. With political economy we intend to embrace themes and domains at the heart of the Classics, including economic growth, business cycles, technical change, income distribution, functions and capacity of the State. In addition, we also welcome papers directly addressing the role and design of economic policies, including fiscal and monetary policies, innovation and industrial policies, trade and development policies, low-carbon transition policies, labour and welfare policies. The venue will be an occasion to exchange ideas, discuss open issues and challenges for future developments. The event welcomes contributions related to the following key topics:
- Technological and structural change;
- Labor market dynamics and employment policies;
- Macroeconomic policies, business, and financial cycles;
- Inequalities and climate change;
- Modeling economic and ecological sustainability;
- Industrial policy and innovation;
- Financing transition to a low-carbon economy;
- Validation and estimation of agent-based models;
- (Big) Data visualization, simulation, and information processing.

Researchers from academia and policy-oriented institutions are encouraged to apply, with preference given to contributions incorporating agent-based modeling approaches. The selected papers will be considered for publication in the Italian Economic Journal. Longer contributions, collecting consolidated, teaching-friendly materials, may be hosted in the Cambridge Elements in Complexity and Agent-Based Models. Graduate students and young scholars are especially encouraged to submit.
