CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
7th Agent-Based Macroeconomics Summer School (ABaMSS)
19th – 25th February 2026
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
The summer school aims to provide an overview of Agent-Based Macroeconomics (ABM) from both theoretical and applied perspectives. It starts motivating the utilization of a complexity approach to macroeconomics, rooted in models with heterogeneous, interacting agents. It then extensively presents the Agent-Based Computational Economics approach, elucidating various macroeconomic models accounting for endogenous growth, business cycles, crises, development, and climate economic coevolution. The presentation of the models includes potential applications to economic policy issues such as fiscal, monetary, innovation, industrial, labor, and climate-change interventions.
Participants will also take part in hands-on ABM implementation labs, gaining exposure to a wide array of techniques, from foundational to cutting-edge methodologies. Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to attend the 3rd Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop and are invited to submit their research papers for presentation during the event.
