🚨 New paper alert! Economic Agent Based Models have become increasingly data-driven. What does that mean and what impact can this have? arxiv.org/abs/2412.16591 📖✨ Chapter with @marcopangallo.bsky.social forthcoming in @sfiscience.bsky.social volume #Economics #ComplexSystems Part IV 👇🧵

DISADIST-ABM: 📢Open positions With Anton Pichler and @maria-drc.bsky.social we got a grant to model the well-being impacts of natural disasters beyond standard economic measures. We are looking for a 3-year PhD student and 2-year postdoc, deadline 15/01. More info 👇 1/8

If business cycles are (at least partly) caused by forces endogenous to the economy, rather than by exogenous shocks, it is much easier to explain why economic activity tends to co-move across countries. New paper in JEBO: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kB5Vc24b7... 🧵👇

📢**A master-level course on complexity economics** Over the last few months, I’ve taught a 48-hours course in the master of Physics of Complex Systems at @unito . Here's an overview, and at the end I'll link to course materials - feedback welcome! 1/7

Calling all complexity scientists whose work addresses 21C challenges, from climate change and net zero transition to polarization. Special issue of JEBO, proposals due Feb 15 2024 #econsky polisky www.sciencedirect.com/journal/jour...

Were lockdowns needed, or would spontaneous behavior change have led to better epidemic-economic outcomes? In our paper just out in Nature Human Behavior, we address this & other questions by building a highly granular & data-driven epi-econ agent-based model www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/12
