CALL FOR PAPERS
4th Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop (ABMW)
Innovation and policies for sustainable and inclusive growth
16 February 2027
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
The fourth edition of the Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop brings together researchers to explore pressing topics at the intersection of economic growth, innovation, inequality, climate change, AI and digitalization, and green re-industrialization. Taking the approach of modeling the economyas an Evolving Complex System, this edition of the workshop is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the impact and diffusion of innovation and which policy combinations can foster sustainable and inclusive growth during the twin (green and digital) transitions.
The event welcomes both applied and theoretical research. It will address both global and Brazilian challenges, such as fostering innovation and technology diffusion, reducing inequalities, promoting sustainable economic growth, improving economic stability, and accelerating the transition to a sustainable economy, by means of a combination of rigorous academic studies and practical policy insights.
WORKSHOP THEMES
The workshop welcomes contributions that address the following key themes:
• Endogenous growth
• Business and financial cycles
• Innovation, technological and structural change
• The impact of AI on economic dynamics
• Science and innovation
• Climate and economic coevolution
• Modeling economic and ecological sustainability
• Labor market dynamics
• Fiscal and monetary policies
• Industrial and innovation policies
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation policies
KEYNOTES PEAKERS
To be announced.
SUBMISSION AND SELECTION
Paper submission and participation are free of charge. A limited number of contributions will be selected. Researchers from academia and other institutions are encouraged to apply, with preference given to contributions incorporating complexity and agent-based modeling approaches.
Submit an extended abstract of up to two pages through the submission form (link to be announced). We encourage submissions from graduate students and young scholars.
No accommodation or travel expenses will be covered. The Italian Economic Journal will welcome submissions of papers presented at the workshop. Postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. and master’s students are also invited to apply to the 8th Agent-Based Macroeconomics Summer School (ABaMSS).

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
8th Agent-Based Macroeconomics Summer School (ABaMSS)
15th – 19th February 2027
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 economics, rooted in models with heterogeneous, interacting agents. It then extensively presents the Agent-Based Computational Economics approach, elucidating various macroeconomic models accounting for innovation and industrial dynamics, 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 4th Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop and are invited to submit their research papers for presentation during the event.
APPLICATION
Apply to the Summer School by filling in the Application Form (link to be announced), where you must upload a short CV and a letter of motivation (no longer than 500 words). A recommendation letter is welcome but not mandatory for the application. Postdoctoral researchers, Ph.D. and master’s students are particularly welcome. The summer school language is English. Participation is free of charge. Accommodation may be provided for selected candidates coming from outside Rio de Janeiro, including from abroad. Travel expenses may be covered only for travel within Brazil. Candidates will be notified of funding decisions by 15 January 2027.

From Connection to Coordination: High-Speed Internet and Protests in Africa
PALESTRANTE:
Jean-Baptiste GUIFFARD (LERN - Université de Rouen Normandie)
DATA: 09/11/2026 (segunda-feira)
HORA: 16:40h
SALA: 201 (antiga sala 203)
RESUMO: This study leverages the staggered arrival of submarine Internet cables and the terrestrial backbone network in Africa to examine the influence of high-speed Internet (encompassing both fixed and mobile) on political mobilization. Using ACLED and Afrobarometer data, robust event-study and difference-in-differences estimates indicate a significant increase in both the likelihood of protest participation and the frequency of protests. This effect is particularly observed in ‘free’ countries, where political rights and civil liberties are actively exercised. The analysis explores two key mechanisms, information dissemination and coordination facilitation, with enhanced coordination emerging as the key driver of the observable impact.
