New Approaches in Economics and Finance

Dear Colleagues,

The last few years have seen a disruptive increase in interest concerning how to manage and forecast complex economical systems. Ranging from the Energy sector to structured financial products, passing from forecast socio-economical behaviors to predict technology outputs and their energy impacts, there has been a huge focus on how to develop new and effective approaches to manage such challenges, the task being further overcomplicated by the enormous amount of data pervading each of the aforementioned scenarios, often interconnecting their own peculiarities.

Consequently, the main aim of this Special Issue is to gather new ideas, position papers as well as collect open problems with the possible view of unifying solutions, helping the international scientific community to propose state-of-the-art models in view of a concrete enhancement in solving the challenges posed by the tumultuous growth of both economics systems and financial settings, more and more intrinsically linked between them and to the energy production/consumption challenges.

Possible contributions could be related to Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics of Complex Systems, Economics, Finance, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence solutions, Energy, FinTech, Dynamical Systems, Game Theory, Operative Research, and Optimization Theory, though not limited to these.
