- Reposted by marcopangallo🚨 New paper alert! Economic Agent Based Models have become increasingly data-driven. What does that mean and what impact can this have? arxiv.org/abs/2412.16591 📖✨ Chapter with @marcopangallo.bsky.social forthcoming in @sfiscience.bsky.social volume #Economics #ComplexSystems Part IV 👇🧵
- DISADIST-ABM: 📢Open positions With Anton Pichler and @maria-drc.bsky.social we got a grant to model the well-being impacts of natural disasters beyond standard economic measures. We are looking for a 3-year PhD student and 2-year postdoc, deadline 15/01. More info 👇 1/8
- We will start from our agent-based models on the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic (sciencedirect.com/science/arti..., nature.com/articles/s41...), and adapt them to focus on natural disasters, mostly floods. 2/8
- We will improve the realism of these models to better understand the impacts on individuals, households and firms at a more detailed level. 3/8

- If business cycles are (at least partly) caused by forces endogenous to the economy, rather than by exogenous shocks, it is much easier to explain why economic activity tends to co-move across countries. New paper in JEBO: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kB5Vc24b7... 🧵👇
- A debate that is almost as old as economics itself is what recessions and booms originate from. Are they driven by shocks external to the economy, like natural disasters, or by forces internal to the economy, such as debt accumulation? Are business cycles exogenous or endogenous?
- If business cycles are exogenous, economies live in stable steady states and positive correlation of economic activity ("co-movement") comes from shock propagation. If they are endogenous, co-movement comes from synchronization of non-linear dynamics through trade linkages.

View full threadt is my only solo paper, from the last chapter of my PhD thesis. Happy to publish it in the JEBO special issue on complexity economics that I’m co-editing (all editor papers went through the editor-in-chief of the journal to avoid conflicts of interest). t.co/wugwCWtrM7
- 📢**A master-level course on complexity economics** Over the last few months, I’ve taught a 48-hours course in the master of Physics of Complex Systems at @unito . Here's an overview, and at the end I'll link to course materials - feedback welcome! 1/7
- My students had no prior knowledge of economics, so I aimed to teach them the fundamentals of economics while showcasing the contributions of complex systems to the field. To my knowledge, there was no course like that, so I had to design it from scratch. 2/7
- To do so, I had to distill the contributions of complexity economics that were most meaningful for the students. I tried to strike a balance between concepts & methods, blackboard calculations and Jupyter notebooks, theory and data, and traditional and complexity approaches. 3/7
