The Fields Institute and the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)
are pleased to announce their workshop "Complexity and Economics",
and would like to invite all interested young researchers from the fields
of economics and related fields to apply.
The workshop is targeted mainly, but not exclusively, at graduate and PhD
students with an interest in complexity theory and its application to economic
problems. It will take place at The Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada, April
26-28, 2016.
The program of the workshop consists of two main parts. The first part,
held by David C. Colander (Middlebury College, USA), introduces participants
into complexity as a concept, and provides them with a base understanding
of how it differs from more traditional economic modelling and thinking.
The second part, held by Igor Nikolic (TU Delft, Netherlands), consists
of applied coursework with a focus on agent-based modelling.
