2 June 08: Webcast at 09.45 EET - Virtual Economies Seminar

Submitted by noronen on June 2, 2008 - 16:45

The AVEA project at Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT) organizes an open research seminar on so-called virtual economies. We focus on the following question: "Why should economists and social scientists be interested in virtual economies?" Through discussion and presentations by academic researchers and industry representatives, we investigate the potential of conducting quantitative research on virtual economies that is of interest to mainstream, "serious" researchers.
