Beyond the Optimising Agent – Summer School in Advanced Methods

Together with Rafael Wildauer (University of Greenwich), I’ve organised an annual summer school in advanced methods for Economics and Political Economy. The summer school provides advanced training in methods that capture features such as uncertainty, instability, complexity, institutions, and historical change — from agent-based modelling to panel data methods, to case studies, and more. The focus is on methods that receive less attention in standard economics programmes but are essential to analyse real-world issues such as financial cycles, climate change, income and wealth inequality, etc. Lab sessions illustrate how participants can apply these methods in their own research. The summer school is targeted at PhD students and Early Career Researchers.

I’m happy to teach my material from the summer school on (i) dynamic macroeconomic modelling and (ii) macroeconometrics (time series analysis) elsewhere (in person). Each of those two topics could be covered in interactive seminar sessions with a total of 4 to 8 hours. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.
