Call for papers: 2nd international conference on “Cliometrics and Complexity" (extended deadline: March 31, 2018)

The scope of the conference is to bring together scientists interested in the use of complexity methods to improve our analysis of economic systems, especially their history, with a special focus on long economic and financial time series. We aim to combine usual approaches from social sciences (e.g. econometrics, cliometrics, finance, history…) with tools borrowed from physics, mathematics, econophysics, data and computational science. Several questions will be at the heart of the conference: the contribution of complex network analysis to economic history; non-linear dynamics in economic history; building empirical and theoretical economic history; econo-physics and cliometrics.

You are invited to submit a 1 page proposal, deadline of submission March 31, 2018.

Keynote speakers:

• Pr Steven Durlauf (University of Chicago, Harris School of Public Policy, USA)  / Field: Complexity economics
• Pr Alan Kirman (EHESS, IUF, France) / Field: Computational Economics
• Pr Rosario Mantegna (Central European University and University of Palermo) / Field: Econophysics
• Pr Andrea Roventini (Santa Anna School of Economics, Pisa University) / Field: Complexity economics

Deadline for a 1 page proposal submission: March 31, 2018 (extended) 
Authors’ notification: April 16, 2018
