WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND HETEROGENEOUS INTERACTING 2002

Post by "ECONOMISTI NON RAPPRESENTATIVI" »

=================================================
WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND HETEROGENEOUS INTERACTING
AGENTS 30 May - 1 June 2002

Miramare - Trieste, Italy

The seventh Workshop on Economics and Heterogeneous Interacting Agents
will be held at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics,
Trieste, Italy. It will be directed by Mauro GALLEGATI (University of
Ancona, Italy), Alan KIRMAN (University of Marseille III, France) and
Matteo MARSILI (INFM-SISSA, Trieste, Italy), also acting as Local Organizer.
The economy is more and more frequently regarded as a complex system of
interacting agents. Recent developments of this approach have focused on
three main issues:i) The heterogeneity of agents in the economy:
The representative agent model, while elegant, versatile and widely
accepted, is unrealistic and does not capture the variety in economicbehaviour.
ii) The ways in which agents interact:
Powerful results have been derived for market-mediated economic
interactions or for strategic interactions in game-theoretic settings with few
agents. Many socio-economic issues call for intermediate approaches where
economic interactions are non-market, non-strategic and distributed (in space-
time). Actually, the network of socio-economic interaction and its dynamics
has become a subject of interest in its own.
iii) The dynamic process which governs the evolution of the individual: The
classical model where individual behaviour arises as the optimal contingent plan
of actions of a deductive rational, perfectly informed utility maximizer agent, is
more and more frequently replaced by models
where agents learn and adapt to their economic environment. This raises the
issue of understanding the collective dynamical properties of systems of
boundedly (inductively) rational interacting agents. This Workshop offers
a forum for presentation and discussion of the latest results on theseissues.

WORKSHOP TOPICS INCLUDE:Interacting agents:General Considerations;
Aggregation of Heterogeneous Agents;The Analysis of Cooperation; Bounded
Rationality;Interacting Particle Systems and Economics; Percolation Theory
and Economics;Learning in Economics;Evolutionary Game Theory;
Computational Methods in Economics;Market Structure and its Emergence;
Economic Graphs and Network Analysis;Non-linear Econometrics.


CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED PAPERS:

The Programme Committee invites the submission of contributions for oral and
poster presentations. Those interested are encouraged to send a one-page
abstract of your talk/poster, along with the registration form, no later than 31
