Graz Schumpeter Winter School 2024

Agent-based Economics

We are happy to announce the return of the Graz Schumpeter School in 2024 as a Winter School from 15^th to 19^th of January 2024 after a hiatus related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Agent-based models (ABMs) are highly versatile and allow, among others, for detailed agent-heterogeneity, localized interactions, path dependency and out-of-equilibrium dynamics. While ABMs are widely used in many different disciplines, they are still underutilized in economics. This year’s Graz Schumpeter Winter School is a prime opportunity to obtain state-of-the-art knowledge of agent-based modelling in economics and discuss future directions with top researchers in the field.

Lectures will be given by:

• Prof. Tiziana ASSENZA, Toulouse School of Economics
• Prof. Herbert DAWID, Bielefeld University
• Prof. Domenico DELLI GATTI, Catholic University of Milan
• Prof. Andrea ROVENTINI, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies (Pisa)

Our school aims at young researchers (PhD students, PostDocs etc.). Participants will have the opportunity to present their own work and discuss it with the senior lecturers.

How to apply: Applicants should fill out the application form and send it together with their CV and a one-page motivation letter until 15 October 2023 to schumpeter.centre(at)uni-graz.at. Applicants who want to present a paper should also include an extended abstract (2-4 pages) of their work as part of their application.

Tuition fee: A tuition fee of 200€ includes access to the lectures, as well as lunches, coffee breaks and one dinner with the senior lecturers.

Accommodation: A list of affordable hotels and hostels can be found here.

Location and Venue: Graz is the capital city of the province Styria (Steiermark) and with approx. 300.000 inhabitants Austria’s second largest city. The Old Town of Graz is one of the best preserved in Europe and was awarded World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1999. The charm of the city itself, the proximity to the Alps and a bustling cultural life are but a few advantages Graz has to offer. The Summer School will be held at the University of Graz, which is located close to the city center.
