Econophysics is a heterodox interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics. Some of its application to the study of financial markets has also been termed statistical finance referring to its roots in statistical physics. Econophysics is closely related to social physics.

经济物理学是一个非正统的 Heterodox的跨学科研究领域，通过应用物理学家开发的理论和方法来解决经济问题，通常包括不确定性或随机过程 Stochastic Process和非线性动力学 Nonlinear Dynamics。因为它源于统计物理学 Statistical Physics，它在金融市场研究中的一些应用也被称为统计金融学 Statistical Finance。经济物理学与社会物理学 Social Physics密切相关。


History

历史

Physicists' interest in the social sciences is not new; Daniel Bernoulli, as an example, was the originator of utility-based preferences. One of the founders of neoclassical economic theory, former Yale University Professor of Economics Irving Fisher, was originally trained under the renowned Yale physicist, Josiah Willard Gibbs.[1] Likewise, Jan Tinbergen, who won the first Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1969 for having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes, studied physics with Paul Ehrenfest at Leiden University. In particular, Tinbergen developed the gravity model of international trade that has become the workhorse of international economics.

物理学家对社会科学 Social Sciences的兴趣并不是什么新鲜事; 例如，丹尼尔·伯努利 Daniel Bernoulli最早提出基于效用 Utility的偏好。新古典主义经济理论 Neoclassical Economic Theory的创始人之一，前耶鲁大学经济学教授欧文·费歇尔 Irving Fisher，最初曾受训于著名的耶鲁大学物理学家 Physicist，约西亚·威拉德·吉布斯 Josiah Willard Gibbs。同样，扬·廷伯根 Jan Tinbergen，在莱顿大学 Leiden University和 保罗·埃伦费斯特 Paul Ehrenfest一起学习了物理学，因为开发和应用了经济过程分析的动态模型而获得了1969年的第一个诺贝尔经济学奖 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences。特别的是，Tinbergen 提出了国际贸易的引力模型 gravity model of international trade，这个模型已经成为国际经济学的主力。


Econophysics was started in the mid-1990s by several physicists working in the subfield of statistical mechanics. Unsatisfied with the traditional explanations and approaches of economists – which usually prioritized simplified approaches for the sake of soluble theoretical models over agreement with empirical data – they applied tools and methods from physics, first to try to match financial data sets, and then to explain more general economic phenomena.

经济物理学是在20世纪90年代中期由几个在统计力学 Statistical Mechanics领域工作的物理学家发起的。他们不满足于经济学家的传统解释和方法——这种方法通常优先考虑将问题简化以便于建立有解的理论模型，而不是取实证数据来分析——他们应用物理学的工具和方法，首先在金融数据集上进行匹配，尝试去解释更普遍的经济现象。


One driving force behind econophysics arising at this time was the sudden availability of large amounts of financial data, starting in the 1980s. It became apparent that traditional methods of analysis were insufficient – standard economic methods dealt with homogeneous agents and equilibrium, while many of the more interesting phenomena in financial markets fundamentally depended on heterogeneous agents and far-from-equilibrium situations.

1980年代开始，出现的大量金融数据是当时经济物理学兴起的一个重要推动力。传统的分析方法是不足够充分的对数据进行分析：标准的经济学方法用于衡量同质行为体的均衡，而金融市场中许多更有趣的现象从根本上依赖于异质 Heterogeneous主体和远离均衡的情况。


The term "econophysics" was coined by H. Eugene Stanley, to describe the large number of papers written by physicists in the problems of (stock and other) markets, in a conference on statistical physics in Kolkata (erstwhile Calcutta) in 1995 and first appeared in its proceedings publication in Physica A 1996.[2][3] The inaugural meeting on econophysics was organised in 1998 in Budapest by János Kertész and Imre Kondor. The first book on econophysics was by R. N. Mantegna & H. E. Stanley in 2000.[4]

“经济物理学”一词是由H·尤金·斯坦利 H·Eugene Stanley 于1995年在加尔各答 Kolkata(昔日的加尔各答 Calcutta)的一次统计物理学会议上提出，用来描述物理学家们在(股票和其他)市场问题上撰写的大量论文。“经济物理学”一词首次出现在1996年在《Physica A》 出版的会议记录中。首次经济物理学会议于1998年在布达佩斯由János Kertész 和Imre Kondor举办。2000年，r. n. Mantegna & h. e. Stanley 出版了第一本关于经济物理学的书。


The almost regular meeting series on the topic include: ECONOPHYS-KOLKATA (held in Kolkata & Delhi),[5] Econophysics Colloquium, ESHIA/ WEHIA.

In recent years network science, heavily reliant on analogies from statistical mechanics, has been applied to the study of productive systems. That is the case with the works done at the Santa Fe Institute in European Funded Research Projects as Forecasting Financial Crises and the Harvard-MIT Observatory of Economic Complexity

近年来，网络科学 Network Science，严重依赖于统计力学 Statistical Mechanics的类推，已经应用于生产系统的研究。圣菲研究所 Santa Fe Institute在欧洲资助的研究预测金融危机的项目和哈佛-麻省理工学院经济复杂性观测站的工作基于此类研究而建立的。


If "econophysics" is taken to denote the principle of applying statistical mechanics to economic analysis, as opposed to a particular literature or network, priority of innovation is probably due to Emmanuel Farjoun and Moshé Machover (1983). Their book Laws of Chaos: A Probabilistic Approach to Political Economy proposes dissolving (their words) the transformation problem in Marx's political economy by re-conceptualising the relevant quantities as random variables.[6]

如果说“经济物理学”指的是将统计力学应用于经济分析的原则，而不是某一特定的文献或网络，那么创新的优先权可能应归功于 Emmanuel Farjoun 和Moshé Machover(1983)的创新。他们在《混沌定律: 政治经济学的概率方法》一书中提出，通过将相关数量重新概念化为随机变量，来解决(他们的话)马克思政治经济学中的转换问题 Transformation Problem。


If, on the other hand, "econophysics" is taken to denote the application of physics to economics, one can consider the works of Léon Walras and Vilfredo Pareto as part of it. Indeed, as shown by Bruna Ingrao and Giorgio Israel, general equilibrium theory in economics is based on the physical concept of mechanical equilibrium.

另一方面，如果把“经济物理学”看作是物理学在经济学中的应用，那么可以把列昂·瓦尔拉斯 Léon Walras和维尔弗雷多·帕雷托 Vilfredo Pareto的贡献看作是其中的一部分。事实上，正如布鲁娜·因格罗 Bruna Ingrao和乔治·以色列 Giorgio Israel所阐述的那样，经济学中的一般均衡理论 general equilibrium theory是基于力学平衡 mechanical equilibrium的物理概念。


Econophysics has nothing to do with the "physical quantities approach" to economics, advocated by Ian Steedman and others associated with neo-Ricardianism. Notable econophysicists are Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, Bikas K Chakrabarti, J. Doyne Farmer, Diego Garlaschelli, Dirk Helbing, János Kertész, Francis Longstaff, Rosario N. Mantegna, Matteo Marsili, Joseph L. McCauley, Enrico Scalas, Didier Sornette, H. Eugene Stanley, Victor Yakovenko and Yi-Cheng Zhang. Particularly noteworthy among the formal courses on econophysics is the one offered by Diego Garlaschelli at the Physics Department of the Leiden University,[7][8] from where the first Nobel-laureate in economics Jan Tinbergen came. From September 2014 King's College has awarded the first position of Full Professor in Econophysics.

Physics models that have been applied in economics include the kinetic theory of gas (called the kinetic exchange models of markets [9]), percolation models, chaotic models developed to study cardiac arrest, and models with self-organizing criticality as well as other models developed for earthquake prediction.[10] Moreover, there have been attempts to use the mathematical theory of complexity and information theory, as developed by many scientists among whom are Murray Gell-Mann and Claude E. Shannon, respectively.

Shannon。


For potential games, it has been shown that an emergence-producing equilibrium based on information via Shannon information entropy produces the same equilibrium measure (Gibbs measure from statistical mechanics) as a stochastic dynamical equation, both of which are based on bounded rationality models used by economists.[11]

对于势博弈 Potential game，已经证明了一个基于信息的涌现均衡通过香农熵产生的结果与随机动力方程的均衡测度相同(来自统计力学的吉布斯测度 Gibbs measure) ，这两者都是基于经济学家使用的有限理性 Bounded Rationality模型。

The fluctuation-dissipation theorem connects the two to establish a concrete correspondence of "temperature", "entropy", "free potential/energy", and other physics notions to an economics system. The statistical mechanics model is not constructed a-priori - it is a result of a boundedly rational assumption and modeling on existing neoclassical models. It has been used to prove the "inevitability of collusion" result of Huw Dixon in a case for which the neoclassical version of the model does not predict collusion.[12]

“温度”、“熵”、“自由势/能”以及其他已建立的物理概念与经济系统的具体对应关系被涨落耗散定理成功联系起来。统计力学模型不是先验构建的，它是有限理性假设和现有新古典主义模型建模结合的结果。在一个新古典主义模型不能预测合谋的案例中，它被用来证明休·迪克森 Huw Dixon的“合谋的必然性”结果。

需求在不断的增加，就像韦伯伦商品 Veblen good 或有短期持续性 Hot Hand谬论的股票买家，他们更愿意买入更多成功的股票，卖出那些不那么成功的股票。

Vernon L. Smith used these techniques to model sociability in economics.[14] There, a model correctly predicts that agents are averse to resentment and punishment, and that there is an asymmetry between gratitude/reward and resentment/punishment. The classical Nash equilibrium is shown to have no predictive power for that model, and the Gibbs equilibrium must be used to predict phenomena outlined in Humanomics.[15]

弗农·L·史密斯 Vernon L. Smith利用这些技巧为经济学中的社交性建立了模型。一个模型正确地预测了行为主体反对怨恨和惩罚，以及感激/奖励和怨恨/惩罚之间的不对称情况。经典的纳什均衡点模型对这个模型没有预测能力，吉布斯平衡必须在 Humanomics 概述的现象中进行预测。

经济物理学家奥雷里奥·F·巴里维拉 Aurelio F. Bariviera和合著者在几篇论文中使用了来自信息论 information theory的量词，以评估股票市场信息效率的程度。


Zunino et al. use an innovative statistical tool in the financial literature: the complexity-entropy causality plane. This Cartesian representation establish an efficiency ranking of different markets and distinguish different bond market dynamics. Moreover, the authors conclude that the classification derived from the complexity-entropy causality plane is consistent with the qualifications assigned by major rating companies to the sovereign instruments. A similar study developed by Bariviera et al.[17] explore the relationship between credit ratings and informational efficiency of a sample of corporate bonds of US oil and energy companies using also the complexity–entropy causality plane. They find that this classification agrees with the credit ratings assigned by Moody's.

祖尼诺等人，在金融文献中使用创新的统计工具: 复杂性-熵因果关系平面。这种笛卡尔式表示建立了不同市场的效率排名，并区分了不同的债券市场动态。此外，从复杂熵因果关系平面导出的分类结果与主权证券评级公司对主权证券的评级结果一致。同时由 Bariviera 等人开发的一个类似的研究，以美国石油和能源公司债券为样本，运用复杂熵因果关系平面，探讨了信用评级与信息效率的关系。他们发现，这一分类与穆迪给予的信用评级相一致。


Another good example is random matrix theory, which can be used to identify the noise in financial correlation matrices. One paper has argued that this technique can improve the performance of portfolios, e.g., in applied in portfolio optimization.[18]

The concept of economic complexity index, introduced by the MIT physicist Cesar A. Hidalgo and the Harvard economist Ricardo Hausmann and made available at MIT's Observatory of Economic Complexity, has been devised as a predictive tool for economic growth. According to the estimates of Hausmann and Hidalgo, the ECI is far more accurate in predicting GDP growth than the traditional governance measures of the World Bank.[21]

There are also analogies between finance theory and diffusion theory. For instance, the Black–Scholes equation for option pricing is a diffusion-advection equation (see however [22][23] for a critique of the Black–Scholes methodology). The Black–Scholes theory can be extended to provide an analytical theory of main factors in economic activities.[20]

Also several scaling laws have been found in various economic data.

在金融理论和扩散 Diffusion理论之间也有相似之处。例如，期权定价的布莱克-斯科尔斯方程 Black–Scholes equation是一个扩散-对流 diffusion-advection方程(见对布莱克-斯科尔斯方法论的批判)。布莱克-斯科尔斯理论可以扩展为经济活动中主要因素的分析理论。其他经济学家，包括毛罗 · 加勒盖蒂，史蒂夫 · 基恩，保罗 · 奥默罗德和艾伦 · 基尔曼对此表现出了更多的兴趣，但也批评了经济物理学的一些趋势。最近，实验经济学创始人之一、诺贝尔经济学奖得主弗农·L·史密斯使用了这些技术并承诺它们会有非常良好的前景。同时，在各种经济数据中，也发现了标度律的存在。

As in quantum field theory the "fat tails" can be obtained by complicated "nonperturbative" methods, mainly by numerical ones, since they contain the deviations from the usual Gaussian approximations, e.g. the Black–Scholes theory. Fat tails can, however, also be due to other phenomena, such as a random number of terms in the central-limit theorem, or any number of other, non-econophysics models. Due to the difficulty in testing such models, they have received less attention in traditional economic analysis.

正如在量子场论中一样，“肥尾”可以通过复杂的“非微扰”方法得到，主要是通过数值方法，因为它们包含了通常的高斯近似的偏差，例如:布莱克-斯科尔斯理论。然而，肥尾也可能是由其他现象引起的，比如中心极限定理中的随机项数，或者其他任何非经济物理学模型。由于这些模型难以检验，因此在传统的经济分析中很少受到重视。

Papers on econophysics have been published primarily in journals devoted to physics and statistical mechanics, rather than in leading economics journals. Some Mainstream economists have generally been unimpressed by this work.[24] Other economists, including Mauro Gallegati, Steve Keen, Paul Ormerod, and Alan Kirman have shown more interest, but also criticized some trends in econophysics.

Econophysics is having some impacts on the more applied field of quantitative finance, whose scope and aims significantly differ from those of economic theory. Various econophysicists have introduced models for price fluctuations in physics of financial markets or original points of view on established models.[22][25][26] Also several scaling laws have been found in various economic data.[27][28][29]

经济物理学对定量金融学 quantitative finance的应用领域产生了一定的影响，定量金融学的研究范围和研究目标与经济学理论有很大的不同。各种经济物理学家介绍了金融市场物理学 physics of financial markets中的价格波动模型或已建立模型的原始观点。在各种经济数据中也发现了标度律的存在。

Main results

主要成果


Presently, one of the main results of econophysics comprises the explanation of the "fat tails" in the distribution of many kinds of financial data as a universal self-similar scaling property (i.e. scale invariant over many orders of magnitude in the data), arising from the tendency of individual market competitors, or of aggregates of them, to exploit systematically and optimally the prevailing "microtrends" (e.g., rising or falling prices). These "fat tails" are not only mathematically important, because they comprise the risks, which may be on the one hand, very small such that one may tend to neglect them, but which - on the other hand - are not negligible at all, i.e. they can never be made exponentially tiny, but instead follow a measurable algebraically decreasing power law, for example with a failure probability of only [math]\displaystyle{ P\propto x^{-4}\,, }[/math] where x is an increasingly large variable in the tail region of the distribution considered (i.e. a price statistics with much more than 108 data). I.e., the events considered are not simply "outliers" but must really be taken into account and cannot be "insured away".  The "fat tails" are also observed in commodity markets.

目前，经济物理学的主要研究成果之一是将多种金融数据分布中的“肥尾”解释为一种普遍的自相似标度性质(即“肥尾”)。因个人的倾向市场竞争对手,或聚合,利用系统和最佳流行的“微观趋势”(例如,价格上升或下降)。这些“肥尾”不仅在数学上很重要，因为它们包含了风险，这些风险一方面可能非常小，以至于人们可能会忽略它们，但另一方面，这些风险一点也不可忽视。它们永远不可能成指数微小，而是遵循一个可测量的代数递减幂律，例如，故障概率只有[math]\displaystyle{ P\propto x^{-4}\,, }[/math]其中x在所考虑的分布的尾部区域是一个越来越大的变量(例如，x = 0。一个价格统计数据远远超过108)。也就是说，所考虑的事件不仅仅是“异常值” ，而是必须真正加以考虑，不能“保走”。商品市场也出现了“肥尾”现象。
