CALL FOR PAPERS
EVOLUTION AND MARKET BEHAVIOR IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE
DIME WORKSHOP
October 2-3, 2009
Centro De Giorgi and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna
Pisa, Italy
BACKGROUND:
The evolutionary approach to markets applies evolutionary
dynamics concepts, such as selection and mutation, to study
the co-evolution of agents behaviors, investors strategies,
wealths and prices, in goods and assets markets.
The aim of the workshop is to allow leading scholars in the
field of evolutionary finance, and more broadly scholars
who are investigating the evolutionary basis of capital and
good markets, to present their most recent work and discuss
their ideas for future research. The workshop will consist
of 12-14 talks organized over two days. Nearly half of the
talks will be given by invited speakers while the remaining
contributions are selected through an open call. All the
talks will be in plenary form so to promote an open
discussion. The Workshop proceedings will collect the works
presented at the conference and will be published by the
Journal of Evolutionary Economics.
TOPICS:
We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions related
to the following themes of the conference:
- Evolutionary models of markets
- Evolutionary finance
