A MAPPING OF THE LITERATURE ON ECONOPHYSICS

Econophysics is a relatively young discipline, being an interdisciplinary approach that applies methods and tools from physics in the economics, for studying the financial markets, or other economical phenomena. The objective is to create a mapping of the most used keywords in this topic, as well as...
