CALL FOR PAPERS
THIRD AIX EN PROVENCE COMPLEXITY WORKSHOP
“COMPLEX BEHAVIOR IN ECONOMICS:
MODELING, COMPUTING, AND MASTERING COMPLEXITY”
(COMPLEXITY2006)
Aix en Provence (Marseilles), France, May 17-21, 2006
sponsored by the
Society for Computational Economics
Special Interest Group on Economic Dynamics
http://www.economic-complexity.net
Organizers:
Christophe Deissenberg (GREQAM and Université de la Méditerranée)
Giulia Iori (City University London)
Alan Kirman (GREQAM and EHESS)
Themes:
The workshop will cover, from an interrelated perspective, three main
themes:
Theme 1: Aggregated models of economic behavior and complex dynamics
Theme 2: Disaggregated models of economic behavior and artificial
societies
Theme 3: Mastering complex problems in economics, finance, and
management.
Audience:
The addressed topics should be of interest for theoretical and applied
economists, researchers in finance, marketing, and insurance, as well as
for epistemologists, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and
specialists of numerical methods.
The workshop is meant to be a place for wide intra- and interdisciplinary
exchange at a high level. Some relevant topics are (non exhaustive list):
- Agent-based economies: modeling, analysis, validation, and policy
implications
- Cycles and chaos in aggregated models
- Financial markets and Econophysics
- Networks in socio-economic modeling
- Social interaction models
- Learning in a complex environment
- Forecasting in a complex environment
- Recognizing and characterizing the emergence of complex behavior
- Complex behavior in dynamic games
- Market organization
- Predicting and avoiding systemic failures
- Comparing aggregated and multi-agent models of socio-economic
phenomena
- Local and global optimization
- Control of chaotic systems
- Methodological and epistemological implications of complexity
Papers presenting practical applications (e.g., in finance, marketing,
insurance, electronic trading, traffic, epidemiology, biology, geography,
voting, opinion transmission, policy-making, etc.) are to be particularly
welcomed.
Invited plenary lectures:
The following speakers agreed to give invited plenary lectures at
COMPLEXITY2006:
Doyne Farmer, The Santa Fe Institute
Cars Hommes, University of Amsterdam
Thomas Sargent, New York University
Publications:
A volume in the prestigious ISETE series (Elsevier), see
http://www.econ.tepper.cmu.edu/barnett/ISETE.html. The volumes in this
series are refereed according to the same standards than top journals, and
have a very wide diffusion. If we receive enough high quality submissions,
we will also consider publishing a special issue of a high level
international journal. See the website for past AIX COMPLEXITY publications.
The preprints will be available on the Web (no printed copies). They will
be Repec-indexed.
