Scope:
In the last two years, CEF has consecutively hosted special sessions on Evolutionary Computation in Economics and Finance (ECEF). This series of events aims at bringing together economists to explore current development of evolutionary computation (EC) in economic and financial modeling, simulation and computation. These special sessions, along with many similar events have revealed some promising features of EC in the study of option pricing, time series modeling, economic forecasting, trading strategies, oligopoly games, bargaining behavior, economic experiments, and artificial financial markets. Through these applications, EC tools such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary programming, evolutionary strategies and evolutionary artificial neural nets have been introduced to a larger circle of economists, and also provides us with a better opportunity to reflect upon the chances which we may have from these tools.
As a continuation of this learning process, this year we will organize special sessions on the 7th SCE conference at Yale University. Papers addressing novel applications of EC techniques to economics, game theory and finance, and methodologies are cordially solicited. Authors wishing to present a paper should submit a 4-page extended abstract or a full paper via the conference webpage,
http://gemini.econ.yale.edu/conference/SCE2001
The conference Web site will begin accepting submissions on January 1, 2001, and will continue to accept submissions through March 1, 2001. To expedite the screening process, a menu is provided on the webpages allowing precategorization of submissions. Authors are advised to indicate the program committee member by whom the submission is to be considered. For example, to have a paper included in the sessions on ``Evolutionary Computation in Economics and Finance'', one should choose Berc Rustem as the conference program committee member by whom the submission is to be considered.
