SCANNED ARTICLES

This section provides a scanned version of those of my articles which may not be available online, either because they were published prior to the Internet era or published in non-academic periodicals. The section also contains a few unpublished manuscripts.

Basically, there were 4 successive periods: (i) 1968-1972: Particle physics (ii) 1973-1982: Mathematical studies and transition to the social sciences (iii) 1983-1995: Studies in the social sciences prior to the introduction of econophysics as a new field of physics (iv) 1996-2010: Studies in econophysics.
