Abstract
The University of Bamberg hosted the 27th Annual Workshop on Economics with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents (WEHIA) from July 9 to 11, 2024.The WEHIA series aims to advance the understanding of economic systems by emphasizing the central role of heterogeneity, interaction, and nonlinear dynamics.Research presented at WEHIA typically moves beyond representative agent and equilibriumbased frameworks, instead highlighting agent-based, network, evolutionary, and complexity-oriented approaches.The workshop's scope is deliberately interdisciplinary, welcoming theoretical, computational, empirical, and experimental contributions that draw on insights from economics, physics, computer science, and related fields, with the overarching objective of developing more realistic, dynamic, and policy-relevant models of economic systems.In this spirit, one might say that while some economists continue to search for the economy's equilibrium, WEHIA brings together those who know that it disappears after the first interaction.The 2024 edition of WEHIA brought together around 110 participants and featured approximately 90 high-quality presentations, fostering intense and stimulating scientific exchange.
