From statistical physics to the social sciences : the challenges of multidisciplinarity

Jean-Philippe Bouchaud presents his lecture in the series les courTs du Collège de France

In his lecture, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud will illustrate how ideas from the statistical physics of complex systems can be transposed to economics and the social sciences, with particular emphasis on collective phenomena, crises, panics and discontinuities, for which realistic modeling is more necessary than ever.
