WEHIA 2012 : 17th Annual Workshop on Economic Heterogeneous Interacting Agents

du 21 juin 2012 au 23 juin 2012

17th Annual Workshop on Economic Heterogeneous Interacting Agents.

.

W.E.H.I.A. 2012

June 21-23, 2012
University of Pantheon-Assas, Paris II
ERMES - CNRS

This is the annual workshop of the ESHIA society. It will be held in the Paris II Pantheon-Assas University

The workshop will be preceded by two days of tutorials (June 19-20).


Aims:

Recent economic events have underlined how research in economics needs to take into account heterogeneous dynamics, with possibilities of rupture and crisis: networks and interactions are central and have to be modelled. This entails the modelling of heterogeneous agents. Besides the heterogeneity of preferences and capabilities, other heterogeneities matter, such as differences in learning modes and the diversity of agents' types, including the appearance of new agents (or exit of former agents) such as intermediaries, agencies, public authorities. Efforts are being made to create models that are both mathematically tractable and empirically satisfactory. In such models, the link between individual and aggregate behaviour is much more complicated than is traditionally the case in macroeconomic theory. But, it is precisely this that makes such models interesting and important.

The 17th Workshop on Economics and Heterogeneous Interacting Agents offers an opportunity to present the latest research on various aspects of the economy as a complex system made up of multiple heterogeneous interacting agents. Research from different domains, at the crossing of various disciplines - economics, psychology, sociology, computer sciences, physics - are useful for
developing more satisfactory approaches to (macro) econometrics and (macro) economic theory. These approaches have already brought some improvement in the understanding of problems facing the world economy, such as the financial crisis, segregation, unemployment and poverty, and the need for sustainable development. The workshop aims to make progress in understanding and solving them.

Topics:
Workshop topics will cover research in all areas relating to models of interacting agents. Contributions with empirical applications will be also appreciated.

These topics include:

• Agent Based Models
• Emergent Macroeconomics
• Econophysics
• Experimental Economics
• Aggregation of Heterogeneous agents
• Financial Fragility Models
• DSGE Models with Heterogeneous Agents
• Bounded Rationality
• Interacting Particle Systems and Economics
• Percolation Theory and Economics
• Learning in Economics
• Evolutionary Game Theory
• Computational Methods in Economics and Finance
• Market Structure and its Emergence
• Spatial agent models and urban complex adaptive systems
• Economic Development, Technological Change and Growth
• Socio-economic Networks
  

Important dates are:

• Deadline for abstracts: an extended abstract of 1000 words is required for February 29, 2012.
• Notify abstract acceptance: March 31, 2012.
• Deadline for registration: April 30, 2012
• Deadline for full paper delivery: May 31, 2012

The Society for Economic Science with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents (ESHIA) aims to provide a unique medium of communication for multidisciplinary approaches, either empirical or theoretical, to the study of
complex socio-economic problems. It intends to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and exchange of concepts and techniques developed within diverse scientific disciplines including economics, social sciences physics, and computer science. The focus of ESHIA is especially on simulating and synthesizing emergent phenomena and collective behaviors to understand real economic and social systems. ESIA is particularly keen to showcase applications of agent-based modeling such as market microstructure design, policy analysis,
systemic risk, and financial engineering. Agents, heterogeneity and interactions are key concepts in multidisciplinary approaches and provide a major driving force to study, either empirical or theoretical, of the socio-economic systems research.
