commments on"An anniversary tribute to Prof. Eugene Stanley"
|||
From the very beginning there have been several “schools of thought” in econophysics, but there can be
little doubt that the Boston school was the most influential. Why? Three factors can be mentioned.
从经济物理学的创立，到现在，经济物理存在若干个经院式的思维，使得斯坦利不是最有影响力的。同时经济物理领域不能出现像牛顿，弗洛里德、拉瓦锡、马克思等那样的任务，好像还停留在第谷和哥白尼时代。
As already mentioned, for several years the group of Eugene Stanley was a kind of magnet.PhD students,
postdoctoral students, visitors gathered there. There was a steady flow of seminars and at lunchtime
everybody used to go to one ofthe restaurants just across the street. In short,through discussion and
interaction this group became the cradle of something new. In this group Eugene Stanley held of course a
prominent position, not only through a number of seminal papers (see Stanley 1995, 1996) but also because of
his influence as an editor of PhysicaA. In this position and for over 15 years he nurtured hundreds of
econophysical papers.
斯坦利的贡献，在某种程度源于其有一个较高的位置，下面有一个庞大的团队，同时其是Physica A 的编委。使得有很多代表性的文章出现。
As one knows, Sigmund Freud devoted a substantial amount of time and energy to keeping other conceptions
than his own out of the conferences or publications which shaped the new field. So did Karl Marx. Nothing of
the sort happened in econophysics. There were several schools of thought at the beginning and 15 years later
they are still alive. In his position Eugene Stanley did not try to make his own preferences prevail. Thus,
in spite of the fact that in his own work he was alway eager to establish a close connection between data and
model, completely theoretical or completely empirical papers were quite as welcome.
学科的建立不是仅仅靠自己或者单独一个团队就能完成的，同时要有接受，维持以及改进不同意见的魄力，如其仅仅把经济物理定位在金融领域，同时仅仅寻找数据和模型之间的联系。
Moreover, in spite of the fact that econophysics started with a strong focus on finance, its scope
progressively broadened. Many papers and books about economic or sociological phenomena were published in
recent years, for instance on specific structural regularities in social phenomena (Wanget al. 2005,
Chatterjee et al. 2007, Aoyama et al. 2010) or on the identification of social interactions (Li et al. 2010,
Zeng et al. 2010). This is certainly a promising trend.So much for history. Let us now turn to an assessment
which can lead to the opening of new roads.
希望斯坦利领导的经济物理团队，要扩大视界，这样物理学才能越走越远。
