Massimo Egidi is a Professor at the Department of Economics and Management, University of Trento. His work focuses on macroeconomic complexity, computable economics, and institutional frameworks influencing industrial development. He collaborated extensively with Axel Leijonhufvud, contributing to theories on factory systems and the limits of the 'invisible hand.' Egidi co-founded the Trento Laboratory of Experimental Economics (1991), integrating adaptive models and machine learning into economic analysis. His research explores coordination modes in production, evolutionary processes in labor division, and systemic stability through distributed decision-making.
- Key affiliations: University of Trento (since 1995)
- Research groups: EMASUS, ECSE, and DEM Working Papers
Research interests include reinterpreting Adam Smith’s division of labor, analyzing market failures, and modeling macroeconomic crises through computational tools. He critiques mainstream rational expectations theory, advocating for complexity-based approaches to capture economic dynamics.
