16 – 17 March, 2016
Conference Description
An interdisciplinary conference on the potentials and limitations of economic modelling in relation to the following three questions:
- Do economic models explain real-life socio-economic phenomena despite their idealized assumptions?
- Are results derived with the help of decision theoretic and game theoretic models descriptive or normative in nature? Can they be both?
- Do state of the art economic models capture the uncertainties we face in economic decision and policy making?
Submissions are invited from graduate students and early career researchers (up to two years since the award of their PhD) on any of the above three questions.
