I am glad to be invited as invited speaker at the Satellite Complexity in Economics & Finance during the conference StatPhys29.
The Complexity in Economics & Finance workshop, a satellite meeting of StatPhys29 (the international conference on Statistical Physics), aims at bringing together researchers active in the study of complex systems in economics and finance to discuss state-of-the-art work in the field, share knowledge across disciplines, and create opportunities for novel and fruitful collaborations.
The event will be hosted at the CREF
I will talk during the SESSION 10,

Urbanization and economic complexity
Abstract
Urbanization plays a crucial role in the economic development of every country. The mutual relationship between the urbanization of any country and its economic productive structure is far from being understood. We analyzed the historical evolution of product exports for all countries using the World Trade Web with respect to patterns of urbanization from 1995 to 2010. Using the evolving framework of economic complexity, we reveal that a country’s economic development in terms of its production and export of goods, is interwoven with the urbanization process during the early stages of its economic development and growth. Meanwhile in urbanized countries, the reciprocal relation between economic growth and urbanization fades away with respect to its later stages, becoming negligible for countries highly dependent on the export of resources where urbanization is not linked to any structural economic transformation.
See you at there!
