Short presentation (institution): CICSE
The CICSE (Inter-University Center on Growth and Economic Development) has been founded in 2007 by the Economics Departments of the Universities of Pisa, Napoli “Federico II”, Siena, Padova, Catania, Milano Sacro Cuore e Politecnica delle Marche. The Center is dedicated to: promote and coordinate specific research programs on economic growth and development, economic dynamics, structural change and economic geography; divulgate the results of research groups formed by the affiliates to the Center in organized international conferences; organize periodic workshops and public lectures for postgraduate students and scholars. The members of the Center have a long experience of team work in research projects financed by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research on themes such as: “economic growth: social and institutional dynamics”, “Heterogeneous Sectors, Growth and. Technological Progress, “structural change and economic growth”. The Center organize the “CICSE Lectures on Growth and Development” delivered by internationally renowned scholars working on economic growth or economic development such as Stephen J. Turnovsky (University of Washington), Oded Galor (Brown University) and David de la Croix. Extended versions of the lectures are published by Cambridge University Press in a dedicated Series.

Interessi di ricerca
Studio qualitativo globale di sistemi dinamici discreti ottenuti dall'iterazione di mappe noninvertibili mediante il metodo degli "insiemi critici", introdotti da I. Gumowski e C. Mira.
Proprietà e biforcazioni globali degli insiemi invarianti in sistemi dinamici nonlineari in tempo discreto: coesistenza di attrattori e delimitazione dei loro bacini d'attrazione, dinamiche complesse, biforcazioni omocline e di contatto che cambiano la struttura topologica degli attrattori e/o dei loro bacini d'attrazione.
Analisi di modelli che esibiscono fluttuazioni endogene (es. business cycle), eventualmente coesistenti con equilibri e cicli stabili, e dei meccanismi che determinano l'apparizione di tali fluttuazioni
Studio di mappe definite a tratti, continue o meno, e classificazione delle loro biforcazioni.
Modellistica dinamica in economia, finanza e scienze sociali: oligopolio; economie con agenti a razionalità limitata e relativi problemi sui meccanismi di formazione delle aspettative; economie con agenti eterogenei; modelli di business cycle e di crescita.

Serena Sordi is Associate Professor of Economics in the Department of Economic Policy, Finance and Development (DEPFID) of the University of Siena. She has a well established teaching, research and publication record in economic dynamics with a particular focus on mathematical and simulation methods that can be used for the study of nonlinear models. In recent years she has participated actively in the main international conferences on these topics, among which the 7th International Conference on Nonlinear Economic Dynamics (Cartagena, Spain, June 2011), the MDEF-Dynamical Models in Economics and Finance Conference (Urbino, Italy, September 2010), the 16th International Conference of the Society for Computational Economics (London, UK, July 2010) , the 11th Workshop on Optimal Control, Dynamic Games and Nonlinear Dynamics (CENDEF, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, June 2010) and the 18th Annual Symposium of the Society for Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics (Novara, April 2010). She has also, over the years, established solid research links and collaborative activities with other members of the Action, among whom, in particular, Roberto Dieci of the University of Bologna.
Since 2005, Serena Sordi has collaborated, on a research project on financial fragility and economic fluctuations, with Roberto Dieci (University of Bologna)
