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. 410 0$aUnderstanding Complex Systems,$x1860-0832 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aEconomic theory 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aSocial sciences?Data processing 606 $aSocial sciences?Computer programs 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W29000 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 606 $aComputational Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X34000 610 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building 610 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences 610 $aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods 610 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory 610 $aComplexity 610 $aComputational Social Sciences 610 $aComplex Systems 610 $aBiotechnology 610 $aQuantitative Economics 610 $aOperations Research and Decision Theory 610 $aApplied Dynamical Systems 610 $aBehavioral economics 610 $aComplex socio-economic systems 610 $aEconophysics and Social Dynamics 610 $aInformation economy and policy informatics 610 $aParadigm shift in economic thinking 610 $aSocial dynamics in policy 610 $aQuantitative social sciences 610 $aSocial research & statistics 610 $aEcological science, the Biosphere 610 $aEconomic theory & philosophy 610 $aOperational research 610 $aManagement decision making 610 $aCybernetics & systems theory 610 $aComputer applications in the social & behavioural sciences 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aEconomic theory. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Data processing. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Computer programs. 615 14$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aEconomic Theory/Quantitative Economics/Mathematical Methods. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aComplexity. 615 24$aComputational Social Sciences. 676 $a621 700 $aJohnson$b Jeffrey$4edt$0719755 702 $aJohnson$b Jeffrey$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNowak$b Andrzej$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aOrmerod$b Paul$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRosewell$b Bridget$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aZhang$b Yi-Cheng$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166955503321 996 $aNon-Equilibrium Social Science and Policy$93359635 997 $aUNINA
