The interdisciplinary seminars and lectures of the Institute of Economics

The seminars and lectures address “frontier topics”, ranging from the political economy of contemporary societies to the nature of individual and social behaviours all the way to the theoretical analyses of complex evolving systems, in both socio-economic and natural domains. Faculty and students are warmly invited. Some of the events are organized in collaboration with Scuola Normale Superiore.
