You are sincerely invited you to submit a paper to the special session on Computational Economics: Using simulation-based techniques to reflect on economic theory to be held at the Social
Simulation Conference 2018 (August 20-24, 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden).
Please find the pdf-version of the
Call for Papers here.
Description:
Recent developments — like the rise of new research methods, such as (agent-based) simulation — has opened up entirely new possibilities for research in the academic field of Economics. These assumptions allow, for instance, for further enriching economic models
with empirically sound assumptions. To do so might not only be of substantial importance for the further development of economic theory but might also help to bridge the gap between research and practice. Moreover, the recent advancement in research methods
allows to study economic models from an interdisciplinary perspective and — by doing so — contributes to bridging a disciplinary divide. The recent literature, for instance, strives for integrating findings from the academic field of Psychology into economic
models.
The aim of this special track is to facilitate the meeting of people who work in the field of Economics (as well as adjacent fields) and who employ simulation-based approaches. We aim at providing a multidisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion
of recent research findings which challenges economic models by integrating empirically sound assumptions and integrating findings from other disciplines. The special track has the ultimate objective to promote the further development of economic theory.
Deadlines:
Extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers (max. 12 pages) until
March 30, 2018 via the
EasyChair system.
