You are cordially invited to participate in the conference for computational behavioral economics and big data. Duke Forest Conference 2016 Hilton Garden, Durham, North Carolina, Nov 11-13, 2016 http://www.aiecon.org/conference/dfc2016/ Keynote Speakers: Robert Axtell, George Mason University Bruce Caldwell, Duke University Claudio Cioffi-Revilla, George Mason University John Davis, Marquette University John Duffy, University of California, Irvine Scott Huettel, Duke University Huan Liu, Arizona State University Barkley Rosser, James Madison University John Staddon, Duke University Leigh Tesfatsion, Iowa State University The theme of Duke Forest Conference 2016 is Economics in the Era of Natural Computationalism and Big Data. Within the ambient of the forest of data, the conference aims to discover the answer for the following questions. First, how economics, specifically behavioral and computational economics, can help data analytics in mining information and knowledge from big data; second, how big-data phenomena can present economists challenging research questions, new research opportunities, and methodological innovations. For the latter, we further ask how computer simulation, laboratory experiments, field study, questionnaires may evolve or co-evolve with the presence of big data. With the above core issues, studies in each of the aforementioned fields, but not limited to, empirical economics, behavioral economics, experimental economics, on-line gaming experiments, neuroeconomics, computational economics, agent-based simulation, econometrics, history of economics, data science, and other related disciplines, such as artificial intelligence, psychology, cognitive sciences, digital physics, computational social sciences, and digital humanities are also welcome.
