Abstract

This paper presents a panoramic view of research on economic and financial networks in the journal Networks, since its inception half a century ago. This paper focuses on both the breadth and depth of the journal articles, and within the context of earlier contributions, as well as more recent related ones in other scientific publications. From network optimization to game theory and a plethora of equilibrium concepts, along with novel dynamical systems frameworks, the journal has led the way in advancing economic and financial network models, algorithms, and applications. Moreover, Networks has helped to attract researchers in a variety of disciplines to the science of networks and the formulation and solution of associated problems drawn from the real world.
