>From March 27 until March 30, 2000, an international workshop on
>
> ECONOMIC DYNAMICS FROM THE PHYSICS POINT OF VIEW
>
>will be held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, which is located close to
>Cologne (Germany).
>
>The workshop intends to give an overview of the application potential of
>physical methods to economic subjects.
>
>Basically, the workshop concentrates on two main problems:
>(i) the analysis of economic data, in order to detect scaling laws and
> correlations, and other characteristic interdependencies;
>(ii) the investigation of microscopic models which mimic economic
> systems based on non-linear interactions of a large number of
> elements.
>
>Hence, the topics relevant to the conference include:
>* time series analysis of economic data,
>* microscopic modelling of financial markets,
>* stochastic models of socio-economic interactions,
>* evolution and chaos in economic systems,
>* statistical dynamics of decision processes.
>
>The particular emphasis on dynamic micro-models intends to provide
>insights into economic interactions, which may eventually explain the
>complex dynamics in the data observed.
>
>The scientific program is coordinated by:
