Online-Workshop: "Modelling the spread and impact of the Coronavirus"
The Graz Schumpeter Centre is organizing an online workshop on "Modelling the spread and impact of the coronavirus" with invited international experts.
Separate sessions are dedicated to:
a) Agent-based models (ABMs) that focus on the economic impact of lockdown measures (Day 1: Morning)
b) ABMs that allow to study economic and epidemiological questions simultaneously (Day 1: Afternoon)
c) Insights from epidemiological ABMs (Day 2: Morning)
d) The question of mitigation vs. suppression from the perspective of SIR models and ABMs (Day 2: Afternoon)
The workshop will take place online on Wednesday 9th December and Thursday 10th December via WebEx. You can enter the sessions via the following links:
Please contact Patrick Mellacher for further information.
