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.
