RELATIVISTIC QUANTUM ECONOPHYSICS – NEW PARADIGMS IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS MODELLING V. Saptsin and V. Soloviev

"Econophysics, or physical economics, already mentioned as a relatively young scientific school, recently celebrated its tenth anniversary. Of course that doesn’t mean that there were no works on the boundary of economics and physics before the econophysics was officially born, howewer the new direction is usually formed only when the certain conditions appear and the necessity to concentrate the scientific forces arises. Quantum econophysics is not an exception. That is why, though the first work according to Gonsales [18], which can be related to the application of quantum mechanical ideas to the economic phenomena, appeared in 1990 [55], we can speak about the birth of the new scientific direction called econophysics only nowadays."
