Macro-Econophysics: New Studies on Economic Networks and Synchronization

The recent availability of big data on heterogeneity and synchronization of economic networks brings an opportunity to explore concepts of macroeconomics. The theories of statistical physics, complex networks and big data are applied to understand the intricacies of macroeconomic concepts including business cycles, systemic risks, inflation and productivity.
