Dear colleagues,
we organize a Special Session of the VII International Workshop on Computational Economics and Econometrics (IWCee19) that will take place in Rome next July 3-5 and we propose a Special Issue to be published in "The International Journal of Computational Economics and Econometrics" (IJCEE) Please, find details below.
Climate has many significant effects on human being lives concerning both present and future generations. Climate variability most impacts on everyday lives because it affects the availability of resources and food through the occurring of high impact weather and climate events such as drought, floods, heat waves, and storms. The understanding of these phenomena is, therefore, a key element to increase the preparedness and the resilience to negative impact events.
On the other hand, climate change can significantly modify production functions and increase economies' vulnerability. Thus, an improved understanding of present and future climate effects can support stakeholders in the strategic decision-making process by improving their choice options.
Climate variability and change place populations under pressure forcing human beings to adapt; as a consequence, they are playing a role in shaping population displacement patterns, including migration. Conflicts for the control of vital resources are also sharpened by climate events.
Progress in these fields is particularly demanding because climate effects are geographically heterogeneous and they depend on the specific structure of the various economic systems.
Computational techniques can provide useful insights in such a complex system, by modeling the decision-making process in order to increase preparedness, stimulate resilience, and improve choice options.
This session addresses papers which propose theoretical tools based on computational methods which enhance the planning and implementation of climate adaptation strategies. Papers which identify and/or analyze drivers relating to climate change that may affect staple commodities production or human dynamics are also welcome. Works using socioeconomic and geophysical data to better understand production paths as well as migration patterns and to provide guidelines and policy recommendations are of interest. Areas of special interest include but are not limited to:
• Computational models and macroeconomic policy analysis involving climate variability and change;
• Understanding causality in complex systems driven by climate variability and change;
• Spatial Analysis of human displacement related to the climate-induced modification of available resources and the consequent conflicts;
• Newly available datasets describing human dynamics, economic resources, conflicts;
• Identification of environmental drivers for the modeling of human dynamics;
• Tools for Agent-based modeling of climate variability and change effects on the economies.
Sincerely,
The organizers
