2023-11-23: Llull has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his project "Optimal Immigration Policy"
Joan Llull (IAE-CSIC and BSE) has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his project "Optimal Immigration Policy". The project seeks to design optimal immigration policies that maximize benefits from immigration for both origin and destination countries and compensate negatively affected individuals for their losses. By exploring five key policy instruments and employing a sophisticated dynamic equilibrium framework, the project will provide policymakers with valuable insights to leverage the positive impacts of migration while minimizing potential drawbacks.

F-World dedicates a podcast to Mueller's work on conflict forecast
F-World is a podcast series that explores how the forces of fragility arise, interact, and manifest in the systems that make up our lives. One podcast is fully dedicated to Hannes Mueller (IAE-CSIC and BSE) and his work on forecasting conflict. Mueller explains the role of machine learning and why this research project has become a key resource for global work on conflict prevention. He also gives a live demonstration of conflictforecast.org, which is based on millions of newspaper articles.
2023-07-21: Mueller's work on artificial intelligence to spot future violent conflicts, covered by The National
An article in The National discusses Conflict Forecast, a project set up by Hannes Mueller (IAE-CSIC and BSE) and Christopher Rauh and that uses artificial intelligence to predict where in the world outbreaks of violence are likely to occur.
