Econophysics

General links

Econophysics Forum

The Econophysics Forum, run by the University of Fribourg, is “the” place for the latest in econophysics, with a regular post of the most recent papers from the preprint archives.

econophysics.org

Another excellent econophysics site, this one seems to concentrate on sifting out the best of the published material available.

The Emerging Economic Paradigm of Open Source

An article by Bruce Perens on the economics of open source software.

Finance-and-Physics

A website to encourage and ease the collaboration of physicists with market industry.

The Minority Game

The Interactive Minority Game

MoneyScience Financial Intelligence Network

Bubbles and crashes in a simple market model

Amnesty International

Who says human rights aren’t important when it comes to thinking about economic policy?

People

Stefan Bornholdt

Stefan has done some fun stuff on econophysics alongside a much wider range of work on biophysics, networks and neural systems.

Damien Challet

Damien is one of the stars of the econophysics scene, as the major force behind the Minority Game model of financial markets, and with some recent interesting papers on computer software.

Gilles Daniel

Tobias Galla

Tobias has done lots of fun work on the Minority Game and is frighteningly smart, understanding maths that renders me speechless just looking at it.

Mogens Høgh Jensen

Mogens has produced a number of interesting econophysics papers, as well as a great deal of seminal work on fractals, chaos and turbulence.

Neil F. Johnson

Neil has done a great deal of interesting work on the Minority Game and related models of financial markets.

Diana Mangalagiu

Matteo Marsili

Matteo is fantastically smart, brilliant almost beyond belief at maths, and does all sorts of exciting stuff on econophysics, data clustering and other interdisciplinary statistical physics.

Sergei Maslov

Sergei’s work includes a number of econophysics papers as well as some important contributions to the theory of self-organized criticality and, more recently, some excellent work on biophysics (particularly on protein interactions) and networks.

Kai Nagel

Kai has done lots of fun stuff on econophysics, self-organized criticality and, most of all, analysis/simulation of traffic flow.

Maya Paczuski

Maya is a top person who has done lots of cool things including some very important work on self-organized criticality, bio- and econophysics, earthquake science and, most recently, a fascinating investigation of solar flares.

Kim Sneppen

Kim is a very prolific scientist whose research includes nuclear physics, fractals, biophysics, econophysics and networks.

Sorin Solomon

Duncan J. Watts

Duncan is most well-known for his work on the structure and dynamics of networks (and more importantly interactions on networks) which have taken him all the way from a physics degree to a professorship of sociology (!).
