NICO Complexity Conference at Northwestern University
Felix Reed-Tsochas will be giving an invited plenary presentation
at the
NICO Complexity Conference, which will be held at Northwestern University
on 28th -29th March, 2007. Felix will be speaking on the topic of “The dynamics
of decline and collapse in a complex network of firms”, which reflects an ongoing
research collaboration with Brian Uzzi at the Kellogg School (Northwestern) using
an extensive dataset on the New York Garment Industry. At the same conference, a
paper submitted by Serguei Saavedra (a doctoral student co-supervised by Felix) has
been selected as one of the top three submissions and awarded a $300 prize. Serguei
will be presenting work on “Consumer-resource interactions: from food webs to supply networks”.
