Econophysics and the closely-related field of sociophysics are areas of interdisciplinary research using methods and techniques from physics to model economic and other social phenomena respectively. Although examples can be found dating back some way into the literature, both fields came to prominence in the 1990s, at least partly in response to the availability of high-frequency finance data and the complex patterns observed therein.
