The first Wild@Ace was held in October 3-4 2003 in Moncalieri (Turin) at LABORatorio Riccardo Revelli. 

The workshop was organized jointly by the LABORatorio, the Department of Economics "S. Cognetti De Martiis" of the University of Turin, and the Social Interaction Economics and Computing group (SIEC) of Ancona*.

Agent-based computer simulations are commanding a growing attention in Economics, in particular for the design and exploration of theoretical models; for policy evaluation, scenario analysis and forecasting; for econometric estimation. The aim of Wild was to gather researchers interested in the application of this technology to the field of labor and industry dynamics. Contributions have concerned the following topics, and the related methodological issues:

• Firm demography

• Individual behaviour in the labor market

• Innovation and entrepreneurship

• Wage inequality and poverty

• Ageing population, migration and demographic changes

• Industrial districts, local interaction and economic performance

• Integration of real and artificial data

• Use of econometric techniques on artificial data
