<td valign="top" style="border-collapse:collapse"><span style="font-size:14px"><font face="Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:#696969"><strong>We live in an age of increasing complexity,</strong> where accelerating technology and global interconnection hold more promise – and more peril – than any other time in human history. Financial crises, as well as issues around climate change, automation, growing inequality, and polarization are all rooted in the economy, yet standard economic predictions fail us. Using big data and ever more powerful computers, we can, for the first time, apply complex-systems science to economic activity, building realistic models of the global economy. The resulting simulations and the emergent behaviour we observe form the cornerstone of complexity economics. This new science, which grew in part from research conducted at the Santa Fe Institute, will allow us to test ideas and make significantly better economic predictions — and, ultimately, create a better world.<br>
<br>
This lecture is a tale of scientific discovery and adventure, an account of how these ideas came about and the people who made them happen. Doyne Farmer fuses his profound knowledge with stories from his life to explain how we are in the early stages of a scientific revolution that could address the economic conundrums facing society.<br>
<br>
Following this ground-laying lecture, Farmer will be joined by economist John Geanakoplos for further discussion on contemporary economic complexity.<br>
<br>
Doyne Farmer will also be signing copies of his new book, <em>Making Sense of Chaos: A Better Economics for a Better World</em> in the Lensic Lobby in advance of this lecture, starting at <strong>6:30 pm. </strong>August 6th is the US release date for this book, and so the Santa Fe community will be the first to get their hands on an author-signed copy.</span><br>

His current research is in economics, including financial stability, sustainability, technological change, and economic simulation. Doyne is Chief Scientist at Macrocosm, his new Oxford spin-out company, which applies complexity economics to problems relating to climate change and the green energy transition. He was a founder of Prediction Company, a quantitative automated trading firm that was sold to the United Bank of Switzerland in 2006. His past research spans complex systems, dynamical systems, time series analysis, and theoretical biology. He founded the Complex Systems Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and while a graduate student in the 1970s he built the first wearable digital computer, which was successfully used to predict the game of roulette. </span></font><br>
