  • Welcome to the Workshop on Econophysics & Sociophysics

    This workshop is to commemorate the 20 years of nomenclature of the field called "Econophysics"! Prof. H.E. Stanley in the Statphys-Kolkata Conference used the word first time in 1995, held at Kolkata, India. In this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field, the tools of statistical physics that include extracting the average properties of a macroscopic system from the microscopic dynamics of the systems have proven to be useful for modeling socio-economic systems, or analyzing the time-series of empirical observations generated from complex socio-economic systems. The understanding of the global behavior of socio-economic systems seems to need concepts such as stochastic dynamics, correlation effects, self-organization, self-similarity and scaling, and for their application we do not have to go into the detailed "microscopic" description of the socio-economic system. Recently, these theories have played a core role in the study of "complex systems", which include examples from social sciences. Also, many complex systems in social environments share the characteristics of competition among interacting agents for resources and their adaptation to dynamically changing environment. Interestingly, very simple models (with a very few parameters and minimal assumptions) inspired from statistical physics, have been easily adapted on recent occasions, to gain deeper understanding and insights of many complex socio-economic problems. In this workshop, we will focus on many such modeling and analyses done by the Econophysics and Sociophysics community.
