The primary initial activities of the CEW are informal monthly lunch workshops (60-90 minutes) for fellows to discuss either original research or to engage in mutual education by explaining a tool, abstract concept, topic, or method applicable to complexity economics. We also run occasional pedagogical workshops open to the public, to learn about tools, concepts, topics or methods applicable to complexity economics. We maintain a working paper series for senior fellows, to organize and make more accessible our original research in complexity economics. We sponsor sessions at conferences, namely the Southern Economics Association and Public Choice Society meetings. Some of our core members have developed pedagogical and research tools relevant to complexity economics, which we share and promote on our website.
Future activities of the CEW might include: putting out an edited/themed volume on topics in complexity economics, partnering with a journal to put together a special issue, providing stipends and scholarships to student fellows to present at conferences and attend complexity-themed summer schools and workshops, developing a multiple-day CEW Winter School focused on complexity economics, sponsoring reading groups with readings from our foundational books and articles on a bottom-up, epistemologically-aware complexity economics. Our fellows continue to write books on complexity economics topics, and we would like to support them in their endeavor with manuscript workshops and book panels.
