In this book, the authors analyze big data on global
interdependence caused by the flows of commodities, money, and
people, using a network science approach to obtain differing views
of globalization and to clarify the facts on isolation of
communities. Globalization reduces international economic
inequality, i.e., it allows emerging countries to catch up while it
increases relative poverty in some advanced countries. How should
this trade-off between international and domestic inequalities be
resolved? At the same time, the reduction of biocultural diversity
caused by globalization needs to be avoided. What kind of change is
required in local communities to conserve biocultural diversity? On
the issue of commodity flow, research results of the supply-chain
network, isolation in industry, and resource flows and stocks are
presented in this book. For monetary flow, ownership networks,
value-added networks, and profit shifting were studied; and
regarding the flow of people, linkage of ethnic groups, immigrant
assimilation, and refugees were examined. Based on the resulting
view of globalization and isolation, the development of the
isolation index using machine learning is discussed. Finally,
recommendations for evidence-based policymaking in the United
Nations are considered.

Econophysics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that takes
advantage of the concepts and methods of statistical physics to
analyse economic phenomena. This book expands the explanatory scope
of econophysics to the real economy by using methods from
statistical physics to analyse the success and failure of
companies. Using large data sets of companies and income-earners in
Japan and Europe, a distinguished team of researchers show how
these methods allow us to analyse companies, from huge corporations
to small firms, as heterogeneous agents interacting at multiple
layers of complex networks. They then show how successful this
approach is in explaining a wide range of recent findings relating
to the dynamics of companies. With mathematics kept to a minimum,
the book is not only a lively introduction to the field of
econophysics but also provides fresh insights into company
behaviour.
