Industrial Policy and Finance for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth: 2nd Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop
20th and 21st of February 2025 | Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
The second edition of the Agent-Based Macroeconomics Workshop (ABMW) brings together researchers and policy experts to explore pressing topics at the intersection of economic growth, inequality, industrialization, finance, and climate change. Taking the approach of modeling the economy as an Evolving Complex System, this edition of the workshop is dedicated to advancing our understanding of how industrial policy and finance can be combined to foster sustainable and inclusive growth.
The event welcomes both applied and theoretical research. It will address both global and Brazilian challenges, such as reducing income and wealth inequality, promoting sustainable economic growth, economic stability, and accelerating the green energy transition, 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:
– financing transition to a low-carbon economy;
– modeling economical and ecological sustainability;
– wealth and income inequalities;
– climate change;
– green growth and development;
– business and financial cycles;
– technological and structural change;
– labor market dynamics and employment policies;
– validation and estimation of agent-based models.
