International Workshop on «Coping with Crises in Complex Socio-Economic Systes 2009» June 8-12, 2009, ETH Zurich

Partnerships:

Inspired by non-equilibrium physics and interdisciplinary research on complex systems, researchers have begun focusing directly on critical phenomena and extreme events in social systems.
These phenomena are often characterized by power laws and other skew distributions that differ dramatically from the Gaussian curve. Under such circumstances, extreme outcomes occur much more often than is usually assumed based on the normal distribution.

	Networks reveal concentrated ownership of corporations Researchers have made the first maps of corporate stock ownership for the stock markets of a large number of countries, 48 in all. The new network analysis technique reveals “backbones” in these ownership networks: big players that together own a controlling stake in more than 80 percent of the companies in the markets.	published February 13, 2009 by ScienceNews
