Economics and Complexity Lunch Seminar

The Economics and Complexity Lunch Seminar takes place every two weeks on Thursday from 12:30 to 13:30 at University Paris 1 (Room S/3, Maison des Sciences Économiques, 106 - 112 Boulevard de l'Hôpital). It aims at providing a friendly and informal atmosphere in which ongoing research can be presented and discussed. The seminar welcomes both theoretical and empirical works applying concepts and methods broadly related to the growing field of economics and complexity, including networks and agent-based models.

The seminar welcomes presentations both by Professors and PhD students.

If you want to make a presentation and book a date you can contact Antoine Mandel (antoine.mandel@univ-paris1.fr) or Alessandro De Sanctis (alessandro.desanctis@psemail.eu).

The Economics and Complexity Lunch Seminar has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 721846 - Marie Skłodowska-Curie.
