In this context, the study of economic networks and their dynamics must reflect the vast complexity of the interaction patterns and integrate it with a realistic account of the incentives and information that govern agents' behavior. The interplay of both has been shown to produce metastabilities, system crashes, and emergent structures in ways that are yet only poorly understood. Meeting this exciting scientific challenge requires a combination of time-series analysis, complexity theory, and simulation with the analytical tools that have been developed by game theory, as well as graph and matrix theories. We argue that this will help achieving a better integration of theory and data models and provide a better understanding of the potentials and risks of modern economic systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219525909002337","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,25]],"date-time":"2009-09-25T17:44:46Z","timestamp":1253900686000},"page":"407-422","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["ECONOMIC NETWORKS: WHAT DO WE KNOW AND WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"FRANK","family":"SCHWEITZER","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ETH Zurich, D-MTEC, Kreuzplatz 5, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"GIORGIO","family":"FAGIOLO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio di Economia e Management (LEM), Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Piazza Martiri della Liberta 33, 56127 Pisa, Italy"}]},{"given":"DIDIER","family":"SORNETTE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ETH Zurich, D-MTEC, Kreuzplatz 5, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland"},{"name":"Swiss Finance Institute, c\/o University of Geneva, 40 blvd.
