EMAEE
EMAEE (European Meeting on Applied Evolutionary Economics) is an international conference paying special attention to the contributions of junior researchers (PhD students and post-docs). EMAEE provides to junior scholars the opportunity to discuss the latest insights and methods in the field of applied evolutionary economics with leading international scholars.
Evolutionary economics is a leading paradigm for research into innovation, organizations, and industrial dynamics. Beyond these fields, evolutionary economics provides a general approach to the study of emergent novelty and endogenous change in economic dynamics.
EMAEE 2011 is organized by the Laboratory of Economics and Management of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies. The theme of EMAEE 2011 is "Evolutionary perspectives on technical change and industrial dynamics". Submissions are encouraged from the full range of applications of evolutionary perspectives in economics from both junior and senior scholars. In this edition parallel sessions will be focused on (but not limited to) the following themes:
- Agent based models of economic systems
- Cognition, economic behaviour, selection and innovation
- Economic growth, development and technical change
- Networks and interactions in economic systems
- Experimental approaches to economic behaviour and innovation
- Empirical analyses of firm dynamics and growth
- Incentives and organizational set-ups for knowledge production
- History of economic and technological change
- Measurement of innvoation and technological change
- Sources and economic effects of innovation and technological change
