Description
Cambridge University Press Macro-Econophysics New Studies on Economic Networks and Synchronization by Hideaki Aoyama and Yoshi Fujiwara and Yuichi Ikeda and Hiroshi Iyetomi and Wataru Souma and Hiroshi Yoshikawa
The concepts of statistical physics and big data play an important role in the evidence-based analysis and interpretation of macroeconomic principles. The techniques of complex networks, big data, and statistical physics are useful to understand theories of economic systems, and the authors have applied these to understand the intricacies of complex macroeconomic problems. Recent research work using tools and techniques of big data, statistical physics, complex networks, and statistical science is covered, and basic graph algorithms and statistical measures of complex networks are described. The application of big data and statistical physics tools to assess price dynamics, inflation, systemic risks, and productivity is discussed. Chapter-end summary and numerical problems are provided to reinforce understanding of concepts.show more
