    • 2016

      Exploring the intersection of network science with social and historical phenomena, this book delves into the quantitative analysis of social interactions often overlooked in traditional studies. It bridges physics and sociology through network theory, examining both macro and micro-level interactions within societies. Each chapter is self-contained, catering to readers' specific interests. This multi-disciplinary approach appeals to physicists interested in human sciences and offers fresh insights for graduate students and researchers in sociology and econophysics.

      Theory of Markets

      Trade and Space-time Patterns of Price Fluctuations A Study in Analytical Economics

      • 428 pages
      • 15 hours of reading

      Focusing on spatial arbitrage, this book delves into the fundamental mechanisms of commodity markets, specifically examining price fluctuations in single commodity markets. It intentionally sets aside complex factors like quotas and exchange rates to clarify the core processes of trade and spatial transactions. By simplifying the study, the author systematically models spatial differentials and their connection to trade volume in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium scenarios. The exploration of "analytical economics" will be addressed in the concluding chapter.

      Patterns of Speculation

      A Study in Observational Econophysics

      • 252 pages
      • 9 hours of reading

      Focusing on the intersection of economics and physics, this 2002 student text offers a unique perspective on economic principles. It introduces key concepts in economics through the lens of physical theories, providing a fresh approach to understanding economic dynamics. The book is designed to engage students with its innovative methodology, making complex ideas more accessible and relatable.

      Patterns of Speculation
    • 2001

      This book contains a unified mathematical theory of speculation. Besides analysing stock markets, the book considers a wide range of speculative markets such as: real estate, commodities, postage-stamps, and antiquarian books. Various regularities are discussed. For instance, during a speculative episode, the price of expensive items increases more than the price of less expensive items. Such regularities pave the way for a mathematical theory of speculation. Being mainly empirical, the book is easy to read and does not require technical prerequisites in finance, economics or mathematics.
