CASA Seminar Series 2024: Laura Mazzarino

Please note this event has been rescheduled from Wednesday 20 November to Wednesday 11 December.

A macroeconomic agent-based model is presented, featuring a community of profit-maximizing firms facing a heterogeneous labour force whose behavioural attitudes are influenced by workers' educational backgrounds. Two educational systems are analysed: a general system, which provides broad skills, and a "vocational" one, focused on specific job-related skills. Additionally, the model is extended to explore how the economy responds to technological shocks.

Laura Mazzarino has a background in Economic s and Finance and holds a PhD in Complex Systems from the University of Catania (Italy). Her research primarily focuses on the impact of economic agents' skills on outcomes in financial and labour markets. She uses network science, data-driven models, and simulated agent-based models to analyse complex market interactions at both microeconomic and macroeconomic levels.
