The Application of Econophysics: Proceedings of the Second Nikkei Econophysics Symposium

By Hideki Takayasu

Book Overview

Econophysics is a newborn field of science bridging economics and physics. A special feature of this new science is the data analysis of high-precision market data. In economics arbitrage opportunity is strictly denied; however, by observing high-precision data we can prove the existence of arbitrage opportunity. Also, financial technology neglects the possibility of market prediction; however, in this book you can find many examples of predicted events. There are other surprising findings.

This volume is the proceedings of a workshop on "application of econophysics" at which leading international researchers discussed their most recent results.
