- Event time: 11:30am until 12:30pm
- Event date: 23rd November 2016
- Speaker: Professor Zdzislaw Burda (AGH (Krakow))

Event details
Using an agent-based model of macro-economy
(a variant of the Bouchaud-Mezard model) we address
the issue of reducing wealth inequality through taxation.
The study is motivated by the famous book 'Capital in the
Twenty-First Century' by Thomas Piketty.
