ABSTRACT: Recent years have witnessed
a series of economic problems and financial crises, the recent subprime debacle
being one of the worst. All these events called traditional economics into
question and new perspectives have been developed to take into account the
complexity of economic systems. This essay aims at contributing to a better
understanding of a new trend labeled econophysics through two points: 1) a
discussion on the conceptual links between statistical econophysics and
agent-based econophysics; and 2) an overview of works dealing with these links
that interestingly, emphasize the importance of econophysics in China.
