First Bordeaux-Milano Joint Workshop on Agent-Based Macroeconomics

Organized by: GREThA (UMR CNRS 5113), Bordeaux University and CLE, Catholic University of Milan

Agent-based models have become an important framework for analyzing complex macroeconomic dynamics resulting from the interaction of heterogeneous agents with bounded rationality. This framework frees the modeler from the constraints imposed by the substantive rationality, equilibrium, and rational expectations assumptions, and naturally provides alternative micro foundations to the analysis of macroeconomic dynamics, the emergence of complex aggregate behavior, the effects of economic policies.

A large number of models have been proposed during the recent years and this workshop aims at drawing an account of the main contributions of these developments, as well to discuss the perspectives for future research. It follows the First Bordeaux Workshop organized in 2014, and it constitutes the first edition of a series of yearly workshops that will be organized by GREThA and CLE, alternatively between Bordeaux and Milano.  A special issue of Complexity Economics will be devoted to the workshop.

Definitive program

25 minutes for each presentation and supplementary time for discussion.
