Comments and Criticisms: Econophysics and Sociophysics
2007So far econophysics has given contributions in four areas of economics: financial markets, wealth and income distribution, industrial economics (firms’ size distribution, growth rates) and, more recently, networks analysis.

SOCIOPHYSICS — A REVIEW OF RECENT MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS
