The themes of
NEW2004 reflect the significant advances in the application of the
complex approach in economic policy. The Conference will attempt
to try and close the gap between economic theory and praxis in
economic policy highlighting the effect of new paradigms on public
choices and economic control.
The points under discussion are: could the complex perspective
contribute to economic policy? How can we use a real
multidisciplinary approach? What sort of new hints could complex
methodology give to public policy? Which economic sectors are more
sensible to this change of methodology?
So the key objectives of the conference will be to foster
inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary dialogue for assessing
the opportunities of applications of the complex approach in
economic policy.
The objective is to provide a forum where participants have access
to and can discuss the many fascinating methodologies and
techniques already on offer, their consequence, as well as seeing
what is being developed or is just over the horizon. At present
very few applicative economic controls are based on this new
approach. Therefore a strong preference will be given to works on
these topics. This conference will focus mostly on the emerging
application domains and will promote interdisciplinary discussion
evaluating the recent complex approach developments in sciences
and identifying methodological approaches which can be applied in
Economics. The possibility to use in the economic context (Economic
Policy, Ecology, and Financial Sector) tools usually employed in
physics and biology will be highlighted. New ideas fermenting in
the natural sciences, loosely tied together under the heading "sciences
of complexity" have stimulated new ways of thinking about economic
problems.
The conference will try to develop a methodological synthesis by
comparing different approaches experienced in different
disciplines and ideas that are historically different in order to
promote the formation of a common knowledge. Therefore people from
different fields, e.g. economists, engineers, physicists,
chemistry biologists, are invited to present their work on the
consequence of the complexity approach for economic policy
suggestions. Methodological contribution and works highlighting
the difference in the traditional and complex approach and
ontology for economics and control are welcome. Theoretical and
applicative works on hints that the complex approach could give to
economic public policy or public finance are most welcome.
