** Applications of Physics in Financial Analysis **
How do financial markets behave? Can we model them effectively? Fresh ideas on the behaviour of markets and other phenomena in economics are currently being drawn from the emerging subject of econophysics, based on the techniques and concepts of statistical physics.
A landmark conference on this subject will take place in Dublin next summer, 15-17 July 1999.
Confirmed speakers are renowned econophysicists from around the world (professors Aurell, Dacorogna, Stanley, Zhang) and include Per Bak, who formulated the theory of self-organized criticality.
The aim of the conference will be to provide an active forum for cross-disciplinary interaction between economists, financial experts, physicists, and mathematicians. The conference will focus on analyses and models of financial markets by discussing topics such as market fluctuations, option pricing, risk assessment, and other phenomena of current interest in econophysics, finance, and mathematical and statistical finance.
The venue will be Trinity College, in the heart of Dublin. The cost of this innovative conference will be 277 euros (with discounts for students and members of the European Physical Society). Reserve your place today by replying to this email. We will send you further details by return. Alternatively, see the conference Website www.nbi.dk/APFA/ .
Perhaps you would like to take part in the conference. You might be interested in giving a talk, putting up a poster on your research, or setting up an exhibit of your company's services.
