On various levels, from the decision-making processes of individuals, through to the interactions between individuals leading to the spontaneous formation of groups and social hierarchies, up to the collective, herding processes that reshape whole societies, all these features share the property of irreducibility, i.e., they require a holistic, multi-level approach formed by researchers from different disciplines. This Special Issue aims to collect research studies that, by exploiting the latest advances in physics, economics, complex networks, and data science, make a step towards understanding these economic and social systems. The majority of submissions are devoted to financial market analysis and modeling, including the stock and cryptocurrency markets in the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic risk quantification and control, wealth condensation, the innovation-related performance of companies, and more. Looking more at societies, there are papers that deal with regional development, land speculation, and the-fake news-fighting strategies, the issues which are of central interest in contemporary society. On top of this, one of the contributions proposes a new, improved complexity measure.Information technology industriesbicsscagent-based computational economicsagent-based modellingBaidu IndexbargainingBDScentral-bankingchaoscluster-entropycomplex adaptive systemscomplex networkcomplex networkscomplex systemscomplexity economicscomplexity in stock marketcomplexity of IPOscomplexity scienceconjunctural movementscopula functionscorrelation coefficientcorrelation dimensioncorrespondence analysiscross-shareholding networkcryptocurrenciescyberneticsdetrended cross-correlationsdevelopmentdiscrete-time modelsdual graphdynamic game modeldynamical complexitydynamicseconomic complexityeconophysicsedge of chaosEMDentropic susceptibilitiesentropiesentropy economicsentropy weight TOPSISEthiopiaEuler characteristicevolutionarily stable strategiesevolutionary dynamicsevolutionary information search dynamicsextreme returnsfake newsfeedback loopsfinancefinancial institutionfinancial marketsforecasting market riskfour-colour theoremgain functionGARCH modelgender productivity gapgeneral system theorygeneralized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model (GARCH)generalized Pareto distributionhomo oeconomicusinequalityinformation demandinformation theoryinformation transferinnovative activityIPO timingirreversible processesjump volatilityKondratieff wavesland acquisitionleveraged tradingliquidity benchmarkliquidity proxylocation quotientLyapunovmacroeconomicsmacroprudential policymanufacturing industrymeasure of economic developmentminimal spanning treemixture of distribution hypothesismotivationmultifractal analysismultivariate transfer entropymunicipalitymutual informationn/aNash equilibriumnetwork theorynon-ergodic ill-behaved inverse problemsnon-extensive cross-entropy econometricsnon-linear dynamicsnonlinear dynamicspartial determinationpeaks over thresholdplatforms for participationPolish Green Island effectpower lawpricing constraintprosumptionpublic administration sectorreal estatereal optionrecurrence plotsRed Queen effectrumor spreadingself-exciting point processShannon-entropyspeculationstock exchange marketstock marketstock marketsstock price crash riskstructural entropysystemic riskthreshold effecttime seriestime series analysistransfer entropyTsallis entropyuniversal complexity measurevalue at riskvolatility clusteringvolatility estimatewealth condensationwebsitesZipf lawInformation technology industriesDrożdż Stanisławedt1303451Kwapień JarosławedtOświęcimka PawełedtDrożdż StanisławothKwapień JarosławothOświęcimka PawełothBOOK9910557397503321Complexity in Economic and Social Systems3027062UNINA04343nam 2200817z- 450 991055754850332120220111(CKB)5400000000044121(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/76973(oapen)doab76973(EXLCZ)99540000000004412120202201d2021 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPolitical Participation and Sustainability: Exploring Contemporary ChallengesBasel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20211 online resource (142 p.)3-0365-2408-8 3-0365-2409-6 Over the last two decades, the literature on political participation has flourished, reflecting the increasing use of diverse modes of citizen involvement. These include established modes of participation, such as voting, protests, mass demonstrations, and petition signing, but also newer modes specific to the online environment (ICT-related), participation in referendums, public consultations, or engagement in political deliberation. The importance and intensity of these modes is reflected both in the number of people getting involved and in the increasing number of policies that are subject to various modes of participation on a regular basis. There is extensive literature about how these modes of participation function, why people get involved, and the consequences of their participation. However, limited attention is paid to the relationship between political participation and the pursuit of sustainability at a local, regional, or central level. Existing studies indicate that citizen engagement can be a cost-effective method to characterize changes of local environments; however, not much is known beyond this process. This Special Issue aims to address this void in the literature and brings together contributions that analyze how participation can be associated with sustainability and local development in various settings. It explores the relationship between political participation and the management of their local environment. This Special Issue enhances the existing knowledge and understanding about how modes of participation can be reflected in stronger sustainability. The Special Issue provides the space for an academic debate that addresses issues such as climate change, resource allocation, or the pursuit of sustainability programs and policies. The contributions include a mix of single-case studies and comparative analyses across European countries.Political Participation and SustainabilityTechnology: general issuesbicsscagenda settingcitizen engagementcitizenscitizens' assembliescitizens' juriesclimate changedecarbonizationdeliberationdeliberative democracydeliberative mini-publicsdemocratic innovationsdemocratic sustainabilitydigitalizationecologyenvironmental politicsfuture designfuture generationsinnovationlocal governmentlocal levelmini-publicsmixed deliberationmunicipal mergersnatural experimentopinion changeparticipationparticipatory budgetingpolitical efficacypolitical institutionspolitical participationpolitical trustpublic opinionreferendumsRomaniaScotlandsocial trustsupportsustainabilitywindfarmsTechnology: general issuesGherghina Sergiuedt903239Gherghina SergiuothBOOK9910557548503321Political Participation and Sustainability: Exploring Contemporary Challenges3026326UNINA
