Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Econophysics was, from the beginning, the application of principles of physics to the study of economic and financial markets, assuming that the economic world behaves like a group of electrons or a group of molecules that interact with each other. Its growth was gradual, often unrecognized by the financial world. At the moment, Econophysics is side by side with Finance, with Economics in an attempt to explain economic phenomena.

Using new tools of statistical physics and chaotic systems, Econophysics may be the basis for tearing up some perplexing economics and reducing them to a few elegant general principles with the help of mathematics borrowed from the study of disordered materials.

With this special issue, it is intended, through a transdisciplinary approach, the understanding of economics and finance through different approaches and topics, namely: market efficiency, power laws, agent-based models, complex network, among others.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Economies is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

There is ample evidence that Islamic stock markets perform differently from conventional stock markets, particularly when economic policy uncertainty (EPU) or any other uncertainty such as geopolitical uncertainty is present. Considering this context, this paper examines the US EPU’s cross-correlation with both conventional and Islamic stock markets from the perspective of multifractality. Daily stock market prices of five main countries are considered: US, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. Using the multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DCCA), we validate the existence of long-range cross-correlation between US EPU and all the stock markets considered, demonstrating that all pairs of US EPU have strong power law and multifractal characteristics. Furthermore, all pairs display varying levels of multifractal strength, with the US EPU and US conventional stock market exhibiting the strongest multifractal patterns. Additionally, a cross-correlation between US EPU and the different stock markets is found to be persistent. The results of this study are pertinent to the various market participants in both conventional and Islamic markets, particularly investors, who may be able to draw useful conclusions from them for purposes such as portfolio diversification.

The compensation system, employee motivation, and employee satisfaction have received much attention from academics for many years. Existing research, however, does not yet detail the mediation effect of employee motivation on the relationship between the entire compensation system and employee satisfaction. The study explores the influence of the compensation structure on employee satisfaction using employee motivation as mediation. This research embraced a quantitative design, positivism paradigm, deductive approach, and explanatory research. Cross-sectional data from 100 employees were drawn with a random sampling technique using a self-administered survey questionnaire. First, in sequence of analysis, descriptive statistics were conducted. After that, a reliability test was used to test internal consistency. Finally, a correlation test, direct effect, indirect effect, and total effect were used to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level while analyzing the data. The findings show that the compensation system has a favorable impact on employee satisfaction by partially mediating motivation. Concurrently, this study establishes awareness intending to revise a robust compensation strategy so that employee morale, engagement will increase and turnover will reduce. The study outcomes will assist policymakers in improving the situation of the existing workforce in insurance companies and other financial companies in Bangladesh. Full article
