From Neutrality in Evolution to Efficiency in Markets
How to bridge theoretical predictions to empirical data?
While life and economics are singular phenomena hinging on many “frozen accidents†and non-generic accidental features, an entire host of generic theoretical predictions can be extracted from the very fortuitous nature of those systems. Thus one may apply even to non-stationary systems methods from statistical mechanics in order to obtain quantitative predictions that have a quite wide range of applicability. Viewed from this point of view, the study of many disparate systems leads to similar emergent phenomena and to a common framework for understanding systems over a large range of disciplines. The school is aimed to bring together leaders from different disciplines with students that wish to place their careers at the boundary between the various domains. As in the previous similar schools, the hope is to initiate as a result of the courses, projects that realize a genuine synthesis of theoretical and empirical concepts from different domains without violating, but rather emphasizing the crucial features specific to each domain.
