MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project
@modeltransfer.bsky.social
Our team (Catherine Herfeld, Edoardo Peruzzi, Bele Wollesen, Murat Bakeev, Oliver Budras) studies model transfer in science (especially economics) at @iphilluh.bsky.social. ERC Starting Grant project (2023 – 2029) @erc.europa.eu #FrontierResearch #ERCStG
🔥 Excited to welcome Alberto Bartoccini as a visiting scholar to our #ModelTransfer team!

Alberto is a PhD student in the joint Economics programme of the Tuscan Universities. As a historian of economic thought, he studies how scientific knowledge is codified, standardized, and transmitted. 👇

Our PI, @cherfeld.bsky.social, is giving a talk today on model transfer and its challenges in science at the University of Kansas, as part of the workshop “From Biology to Economics and Back: Internal Conflicts and Collective Agency Across Disciplines."

Our two-day online workshop has wrapped up. Huge thanks to everyone who joined and contributed to the lively discussions!

These discussions tackled some core challenges for those using computational methods in the history & philosophy of economics 👇

We’re excited to announce the third workshop in our series, Computational Approaches in History and Philosophy of Economics!

This online event will take place on October 9–10, exploring how computational methods can be applied in the history and philosophy of economics.

🔥Meet the #ModelTransfer team: Oliver Budras joined us Aug 1 as a postdoc, working on empirical mappings of model transfer with his text-mining expertise. As a financial economist, he’s interested in how physics concepts like Brownian Motion are adapted in financial theory.

Our team members Edoardo Peruzzi and @belewollesen.bsky.social are back from #BSPS25 in Glasgow, where they gave talks on formal templates and #ModelTransfer, and on harms to marginalized groups from info asymmetry in scientific discourse. Thanks to all for the fun time!

Yesterday, our team member @belewollesen.bsky.social gave a talk titled "Dominated Discourse" at the Feminist Philosophy of Science workshop at Ruhr University Bochum! Through simulation analysis, she demonstrated how marginalized groups face epistemic disadvantages compared to dominant groups.

@belewollesen.bsky.social, who joined us in April, gave a talk yesterday at the @iphilluh.bsky.social colloquium! She analyzed manipulability as a thick concept in social choice, and argued for a pluralistic approach to its measurement.
