位于加拿大滑铁卢的 Perimeter Institute（圆周理论物理研究所）最近把许多经济学家，金融理论家，和物理学家，数学家，生物学家，计算机科学家邀请到一起开了个会，会议的名称叫 The Economic Crisis and It’s Implications for The Science of Economics。

Concerns over the current financial situation are giving rise to a need
to evaluate the very mathematics that underpins economics as a
predictive and descriptive science. A growing desire to examine
economics through the lens of diverse scientific methodologies –
including physics and complex systems – is making way to a meeting of
leading economists and theorists of finance together with physicists,
mathematicians, biologists and computer scientists in an effort to
evaluate current theories of markets and identify key issues that can
motivate new directions for research. Perimeter Institute was suggested
to be the gathering point and conference organizers plan to foster a
very careful, dispassionate discussion, in an atmosphere governed by
the modesty and open mindedness that characterizes the scientific
community.
