Those links have a mixture of economics, practical finance, and someone with physics training but not a physicist (Black) who became an important financial economist. Well, there are lots of economists with training in physics or pure math who then move into econ. I was thinking of academic physicists who try to contribute to economics.David Sternhttp://www.facebook.com/people/David-Stern/100000752989078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-56812827315516817222013-05-01T21:41:56.928-04:002013-05-01T21:41:56.928-04:00Do you count finance theory as part of economics? ...Do you count finance theory as part of economics? <br /><br />http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2012/03/derivatives-history.html<br />http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2007/08/derman-how-i-became-quant.html<br />http://infoproc.blogspot.com/2005/11/fortunes-formula.html#comment-41602547steve hsuhttp://duende.uoregon.edu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-59067851879210200922013-05-01T21:17:41.340-04:002013-05-01T21:17:41.340-04:00Lots of physicists think they can do economics (se...Lots of physicists think they can do economics (see econophysics) but economists don't think much of their efforts.... More seriously interdisciplinarity is now surely bigger than ever. Of course, many argue that this is simply specialists in different disciplines working together and no truly interdisciplinary individual does any good work... but I don't think that is true.
