	UCLA - Earth and Space Sciences - Didier Sornette, Books
		Concepts, methods and techniques of statiscal physics in the study of correlated, as well as uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences, biology and economics in an attempt to understand and model the large variability and risks of phenomena.
		A different and rather drastic solution for the Japanese problem advocated by several economists, which is not without skeptics and critics, is to depreciate significantly the currency, that is, to favor a weak yen policy which allows to obtain a lower real (as opposed to nominal) interest rate.
		This last ingredient of the problem of Japanese economy is the main theme of the book which focuses on the possible stable and unstable regime shifts resulting from the emergence of collective behaviors of imitation and herding.
