Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We present this Special Issue on Entropy, aimed to explore the new and potential applications and connections that Entropy, Econophysics, and Complexity have on understanding the dynamics of Economic and Social Complex systems.
Econophysics offers a new approach for considering financial markets and the economy by applying Statistical Physics, Computer Science, Based Agents Simulations, Data Analysis, and other methodologies. This contributes to the understanding of Economic and Social Complex systems by examining their patterns, dynamics, and large-scale behaviors. Additionally, Entropy, a concept in thermodynamics and information theory, has found significant applications in the economy, providing insights into the unpredictability of markets and information processing in Economic Complex Systems.
This Special Issue collects articles that apply Entropy, Econophysics Methodologies, and Complexity Theory for Economic phenomena analysis. Contributions may range from theoretical studies, like those proposing new methods for assessing Economic Complex Systems, to empirical studies that show novel analyses and new properties of financial markets and Social and Economic Complex Systems.
We also intend to construct an interdisciplinary forum for these fields by connecting Economics, Physics, and Complex Systems Theory practitioners interested in these topics.

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. Entropy 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 2600 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.
