The 23rd Annual Workshop on Economic Science with Heterogeneous Interacting
Agents will be held at International Christian University in Tokyo from
June 30 (Sat) to July 2 (Mon), 2018. WEHIA is the annual conference of
the Society for Economic Studies with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents.
WEHIA 2018 represents a unique opportunity to present and discuss the
latest research on various aspects of the economy as a complex system
consisting of heterogeneous interacting agents. Research contributions
from various fields - economics, psychology, sociology, computer sciences,
or physics - can prove useful for better understanding of key issues such
as extreme events in financial markets, production growth, unemployment
and poverty, inequality in income and wealth distribution, and many others.
Paper submissions are invited. Extended abstracts (2 pages long) should be
uploaded through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wehia2018)
by February 28, 2018, for research topics in the following fields:
Analysis of Concurrency
Economy as a Complex System
Agent Based Economic Simulation
Social Networks
Economic and Financial Networks
Cryptocurrency Research
Econophysics
Complex Dynamics
Analysis of Wealth and Income Inequality
Macroeconomic Tail Risks
Experimental Economics
Bounded Rationality and Learning
Evolutionary Game Theory
In addition to the above list of possible fields, we welcome submissions
on other topics developing new approaches to modelling economic
equilibria and dynamics, and to time series analysis of economic and
financial data.
After the conference, decision will be made by Springer on the possible
publication of conference proceeding in Lecture Notes in Economics and
Mathematical Systems. Selected papers will be published in a special volume
of Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination.
