Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Interdisciplinary Modeling of Socio-Economic Behavior: From Theory to Applications’, aims to showcase cutting-edge research and critical perspectives arising from the interaction between the hard sciences—such as mathematics, statistics, and physics—and the quantitative social sciences, including economics, finance, business, and education. We welcome both original research articles and review papers that address fundamental and emerging challenges in modeling socio-economic systems and human behavior. Our goal is to promote the development of mathematical and statistical frameworks capable of capturing the complexity of living and socio-economic systems, as well as the mechanisms through which information and knowledge spread within them.
We particularly encourage submissions that employ or critically examine a broad range of methodologies, including (but not limited to) economic growth, financial modelling, population dynamics, game theory, evolutionary and mean-field games, statistical dynamics, and kinetic theory. Contributions that introduce new theoretical approaches, propose innovative applications, compare alternative modeling strategies, or evaluate the strengths and limitations of different methods in interdisciplinary contexts are especially welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
