PURPOSE

-          To offer an advanced European training aimed at doctoral students and young researchers interested in an approach of economic dynamics based on simulation techniques. Specific attention will be devoted to the LSD platform.

-          To provide these researchers with a forum to exchange and confront views among themselves and with a team of recognised senior researchers.

-          To provide junior researchers with a better understanding of the concepts and results of the various evolutionary modelling techniques of economic dynamics and technological change.

 

 

TARGET GROUP : Doctoral students and young researchers working on or in need of a simulation model (the group will be kept small to allow for maximum interactivity)

 

 

PROGRAMME

Two periods which last altogether 7 working days :

-          First period (2 days) : series of lectures/presentations on different forms of evolutionary modelling of economic dynamics and first presentation by participants of the simulation model they intend to work on. General introduction to the "LSD" platform

 

-          Second period (5 days) : proper workshop during which the students, under the supervision of the teaching team, will actually do some practical work. The participants should be able at the end of the week to carry out coherent simulation series and to show their ability to interpret the results, be they good or bad.

 

In addition the selected students are invited to participate in the three days of the ETIC session on "Evolutionary Modelling of technical Change and Economic Dynamics" as a broader introductory course.
