Abstract of the noon talk:
In the last fifteen to twenty years, a growing number
of physicists became interested in the economy, particularly
in the financial system. "Econophysics" emerged
as a new field of research. I discuss this development
in general and then turn to an issue which continues
to hit the news: credit contracts, their risk, and the
obvious severe instabilites caused for the
world economy as a whole.
It is often claimed, particularly by financial institutions,
that the risk involved with credits can be substantially
lowered by diversification, i.e. by distributing it. I use
a "microscopic" model to show that this very concept
is deeply flawed. The study is carried out with numerical
simulations, but also semi-analytically by employing
random matrices which are a powerful tool in the theory
of complex and chaotic systems.
I start from scratch! - Background in economics is not needed!
