Join us Tuesday, February 23rd for a WICI Talk with Dr. César Hidalgo, Leader of the Macro Connections group at The MIT Media Lab and Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT.
In “Why Information Grows” Dr. Hidalgo will suggest that thinking of economies as computers provides fertile improvements to our theoretical understanding of economies and to the tools we use to anticipate the evolution of economic systems. Using international trade data and data on cultural production he will empirically validate the computational economy hypothesis and show that by focusing on the ability of economies to compute we can predict the mix of products that an economy will make in the future, how fast it will grow, and the rate at which our species records cultural information.
