CALL FOR PAPERS
- Apologies for Cross Postings -
- Please distribute -
sessions on
COMPUTATIONAL APPROACHES TO
MODELLING THE DEMOGRAPHY OF FIRMS
to be held at the
6th International Conference
of the
Society for Computational Economics
on
COMPUTING IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE
July 6-8, 2000
Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
(http://enginy.upf.es/SCE/)
The investigation of the dynamics of entry,
growth, selection and exit of firms is still a
young and developing field of research. A number
of stylized facts on firm demography have been
accumulated (e.g. Caves, JEL 98), however a lot
of questions remain to be answered. In this
context a special session on firm demography
will be organized in connection with CEF 2000.
Papers are solicited that deal with the
following topics:
- The relation between innovation, the creation
of new marktets and the dynamics of firm entry,
growth, selection and exit.
- The relation between innnovation, firm
demography and the emergence of the industry
life cycle.
- The relation between firm demography and
macroeconomic variables such as growth and
business cycles.
- Modelling a constant firm size distribution in
a "turbulent world", i.e. a world where firms
enter, grow and exit.
- The role of spatial proximity in fostering
firm entry, growth and exit.
Extended abstracts should be send by January 15,
2000 via e-mail to [log in to unmask] Final papers
are due May 15, 2000. It is planned that each
presenter discusses another paper of his session.
