Where is the economy heading?

Twenty-five years of work — 97 articles, 12 books, 27 chapters and more than 270 conference presentations — moving from conventional econometrics toward computationally intensive readings of economic complexity: network theory, NLP, geoAI and machine learning on the ninety percent of the world’s information that is unstructured.

02

Who sets the price when algorithms compete?

Industrial organization for the algorithmic economy — pricing algorithms, platform dynamics and the risk of collusion in AI-mediated markets, and the antitrust and regulatory response.
