Econophysics is a new area developed recently by the cooperation between economists, mathematicians and physicists. It’s not a tool to predict future prices of stocks and exchange rates. It applies idea, method and models in Statistical Physics and Complexity to analyze data from economical phenomena. In this paper, three examples from three active main topics in Econophysics are presented firs...
متن کاملScale-free avalanches in the multifractal random walk
Avalanches, or Avalanche-like, events are often observed in the dynamical behaviour of many complex systems which span from solar flaring to the Earth’s crust dynamics and from traffic flows to financial markets. Self-organized criticality (SOC) is one of the most popular theories able to explain this intermittent charge/discharge behaviour. Despite a large amount of theoretical work, empirical...
