DARPA is seeking information on the current state of geoeconomic modelling technology, including capabilities, limitations, challenges and metrics for detecting, tracking and predicting global economic activity.
Applications of interest for such technology may include
- Predicting the effects of specific economic and technology sanctions on capital and trade flows;
- Quantifying the consequences of different modeling assumptions;
- Detecting reactions and quantifying causal effects of economic and technology sanctions;
- Detecting and characterizing significant changes in the structure of the global financial system such as pathways for capital flows and currencies;
- Identifying and predicting economic tipping points that may lead to armed conflict;
- Identifying significant movement in production and associated trade flows;
- Additional applications responders believe are important national security issues.
DARPA is also interested in insights into how current approaches can be adapted to integrate into a larger ecosystem, as well as concepts that could fundamentally change how the desired objectives could be achieved.
Responses are due 15 October 2024, emailed to DARPA-SN-24-104@darpa.mil.
