Research in econophysics has skyrocketed, and studies on power laws, non Gaussian modeling alternatives, network analysis, income distribution, and granularity, to name a few, are gaining acceptance even among economists. However, these acknowledged contributions grew at a slower rate than the abundance of physicists’ work.
This Research Topic is about taking stock in econophysics, identifying potential hot topics, and discussing the limitations that econophysicists face. It is geared toward short communications. These will be reviews, not research papers, in which collaborators will provide their comments on the achievements of econophysics in general and on specific topics. This Research Topic is intended for physicists and economists. Of course, papers must meet the standard criteria for the peer-review process.
Papers that take a bird’s-eye view and address specific research areas in econophysics, such as granularity in macroeconomics, input-output networks, Paretian income distribution, systemic risk, the prevalence of power laws versus optimization, the replacement of Gaussian assumptions throughout macroeconomics, and providing behavioral economics with group analysis, will be welcomed.
