Dear colleagues,

(With apologies for cross-posting)

On 26 June 2025 at 2pm (CET)

Marta Leocata (LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences)

will present an online seminar whose title is:

Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems

Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt).

This is the first seminar of a series of three seminars organised by UMI-PRISMA on the Applications of Probability to Economics in preparation to the 2025 Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview

The next seminars will be:

on 10 July 2025, Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management), Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications

on 17 July 2025, Sara Merino Aceituno (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria), Large particle limit for jump processes

Everybody is welcome to join these seminars!
