Social dynamics with space structure

A critical analysis towards research perspectives

“…The derivation of macro equations from the underlying description of the micro scale is a classical problem which has been mentioned in comments [6,25] that refer to biological applications [8,50], which developed after the survey paper [11]. Comments [25] clearly suggests to investigate how far the micro-macro derivation is of interest also in social and economics sciences. We feel comfortable to reply positively.…”

“…Two interesting points are raised in [43]. The first of these, discussed also in [25], regards a multiscale approach of the modelization of social systems; the second one suggests an interesting application of the kinetic theory to Corporate Finance. With respect to the first point, which has already been treated above, we only add that it is clear that a reasonably general mathematical background is needed in particular when modeling social system, where the collective behavior of large systems evolving in space and time are described at different spatial and temporal scales, and are treated in a consistent way based on the information on the individual behavior.…”
