Entropy-Based Applications in Economics, Finance, and Management

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to be a forum for the presentation of entropy-based applications in economics, finance, and management studies. The concept of entropy originates from thermodynamics, but it is utilized in many research fields to characterize the complexity of a system and to investigate the information content of a probability distribution. Entropy is a general measure, and therefore, many definitions and applications of entropy have been proposed in the literature.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following wide range of topics:

• Entropy-based applications in portfolio selection, asset pricing, and risk management;
• Entropy measures as indicators for systematic risk;
• Entropy optimization approach in economics and finance;
• Entropy-based applications in market microstructure research;
• Shannon theory in fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making methods (FMCDM) with applications to economic and management problems;
• Structural entropy in Bayesian network applications in economic, finance, and management.

Theoretical and empirical contributions addressing any of the aforementioned issues are especially welcome.
