We are looking for data-driven agent-based models, that is, ABMs whose state variables are at least in part initialized from real-world data. We are interested in ABMs from any field of economics and finance. We are also looking for methodological contributions, such as methods to estimate latent agent variables, for data assimilation and forecasting, and innovative approaches to parameter calibration. We especially encourage submissions from young scholars who are working on these topics. We have a few grants to cover the expenses of young researchers through our partnership with the Young Scholar Initiative of INET.
Deadline: July 17, 2022 (extended)
Notification of acceptance: July 30, 2022
Please submit your paper or extended abstract by email to: wddeabm@gmail.com
Together with your submission, please indicate if you need support for accommodation and travelling. To provide funding to those most in need, we ask to those who have their own funding to please pay for these expenses themselves. Depending on the numbers and on some funding options that we are exploring, we may be able to provide funding for accommodation and traveling to everyone or to a subset of contributed speakers.
