Economics and Complexity
The cycle of Advanced Studies in Economic Development starts with the topic Complexity and Economics, which has become an increasing and promising field of research in all area of knowledge. New concepts, theories and methods are helping scientists and policy makers to improve and extend their comprehension about the reality.
In social science, especially in economics, the complexity science is helping to gain access to the black box of interactions among agents at different levels, connecting the micro behavior to macro consequences in a new and instigating way, far beyond the traditional representative agent approach. For the first time in the history of science, new computational methods allow for the exploration of the world of interaction among agents, making visible a significant portion of reality that has been covered by the tunic of in visibility.
The economic development is full of complexities. It is a dynamic, cumulative, heterogeneous, multi-level, diversified and evolutionary phenomenon that evolves continually and sometimes disruptively.
