Dear Colleagues,

a parallel session within the AMASES Annual Conference (https://www.amases.org/annual-conference-2021-home/ https://www.amases.org/annual-conference-2021-home/) entitled "Networks, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence in Economics, Finance, and Social Sciences" will take place on September 15, 2021 in virtual mode using the Zoom platform.

The session focuses on the emerging multidisciplinary study of the interconnections in finance and social science, which brings with it the necessity to deal with the growing amount of data available. A special emphasis is given to the latest advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, which are expected to have a disruptive impact in economic, financial, and social data modeling. The stream intends to foster the dialogue between academics, regulators, and practitioners.

Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to:

- contagion in social, economic, and financial networks

- network modeling of financial time-series

- big data approach to financial, economic, and social modeling

- artificial intelligence and machine learning in social, economic, and financial systems
