A key focus is economics, and its implications on policy making, where the still dominant traditional approach increasingly struggles to capture the economic realities we observe in the world today - with vested interests getting too often in the way of real advances. Insights into behavioral economics and modern computing techniques have made possible both the integration of larger information sets and the exploration of disequilibrium behavior. The domain-based chapters of this work illustrate how economic theory is the only branch of social sciences which still holds to its old paradigm of an equilibrium science - an assumption that has already been relaxed in all related fields of research in the light of recent advances in complex and dynamical systems theory and related data mining. The other chapters give various takes on policy and decision making in this context. Written in nontechnical style throughout, with a mix of tutorial and essay-like contributions, this book will benefit all researchers, scientists, professionals and practitioners interested in learning about the 'thinking in complexity' to understand how socio-economic systems really work.Understanding Complex Systems,1860-0832SociophysicsEconophysicsSocial sciencesEconomic theoryOperations researchDecision makingComputational complexitySocial sciences—Data processingSocial sciences—Computer programsData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Buildinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030Methodology of the Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methodshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022Computational Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X34000Data-driven Science, Modeling and Theory BuildingMethodology of the Social SciencesEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical MethodsOperations Research/Decision TheoryComplexityComputational Social SciencesComplex SystemsBiotechnologyQuantitative EconomicsOperations Research and Decision TheoryApplied Dynamical SystemsBehavioral economicsComplex socio-economic systemsEconophysics and Social DynamicsInformation economy and policy informaticsParadigm shift in economic thinkingSocial dynamics in policyQuantitative social sciencesSocial research & statisticsEcological science, the BiosphereEconomic theory & philosophyOperational researchManagement decision makingCybernetics & systems theoryComputer applications in the social & behavioural sciencesSociophysics.Econophysics.Social sciences.Economic theory.Operations research.Decision making.Computational complexity.Social sciences—Data processing.Social sciences—Computer programs.Data-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building.Methodology of the Social Sciences.Economic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Complexity.Computational Social Sciences.621Johnson Jeffreyedt719755Johnson Jeffreyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNowak Andrzejedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOrmerod Pauledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRosewell Bridgetedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtZhang Yi-Chengedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910166955503321Non-Equilibrium Social Science and Policy3359635UNINA
