Econoinformatics meets Data-Centric Social Sciences

الأصل · EN

Our society has been computerised and globalised due to emergence and spread of information and communication technology (ICT). This enables us to investigate our own socio-economic systems based on large amounts of data on human activities. In this article, methods of treating complexity arising from a vast amount of data, and linking data from different sources, are discussed. Furthermore, several examples are given of studies into the applications of econoinformatics for the Japanese stock exchange, foreign exchange markets, domestic hotel booking data and international flight booking data are shown. It is the main message that spatio-temporal information is a key element to synthesise data from different data sources.
