Dr. Patrick Mellacher

I am a postdoctoral researcher in economics at the Graz Schumpeter Centre of the University of Graz who specializes in agent-based modelling and quantitative methods. I am particularly interested in studying "big questions" without hoping to provide comprehensive, "final" answers.

Recently, my research has been focused on economic epidemiology, political economy and inequality. I currently work on a project on "Agent-based Economic Epidemiology", which is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF with ca. 400,000€ and which is based on my paper COVID-Town, for which I also have received the EAEPE Herbert Simon Prize 2021.

You can find my (working) papers here. You can find my CV here. I am active on Twitter as @Patrick_M_Econ.
