Economics and business schools can only excel in quantitative empirical research when an excellent infrastructure and high quality databases are available to the researchers. The requested infrastructure consists of a set of novel top-level financial and economic databases, as well as a user-friendly upgraded state-of-the art platform to access these data. This implies a very significant expansion and upgrade of the databases currently ...

The Hercules infrastructure (2016) of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) consists of six large databases, which allows 900 researchers in 4 different campuses and across 7 research departments to engage in state-of-the-art research. Early 2019, an in-house survey revealed that data needs are expanding. An international benchmarking exercise compared FEB’s data infrastructure to other high-quality research institutions. The ...

The development of e-commerce has not only given rise to new payment methods – for instance using mobile technologies – but has also resulted in the creation of various types of virtual currencies, such as cryptocurrencies. At the present moment, the legal status of these virtual currencies remains unclear, with different governmental entities holding rather divergent opinions on the matter. What is clear, is that there is currently no ...

LAB-M models interactions of real persons with real incentives in massive multiplayer onlinegames (MMOG) with realistic economic environments to develop and test economic and political theories. The LAB-M world provides natural experiments and collects multi-faceted data on the interaction of people in adaptive multilayer networks. We will develop a new methodological language for social physics, rooted in adaptive multi-type multilayer ...

The objective of this work package is to develop and experiment with an entirely new method of

conducting economic research by exploiting the data provided by real actions and interactions of

individuals that play massive multiplayer online games (MMOG). In MMOG real heterogenous

individuals of around the world interact in real time in what could be labelled as a frontier universe. These

agents have ...
