                      Introducing the new journal

                                NETNOMICS
              Economic research and electronic networking

                             CALL FOR PAPERS
                  

1. Economics and Electronic Networking

As electronic networking grows in importance, economics wise and
business wise, it will create new opportunities for economic research. 
The availability of economic data at a micro and macro level, both in
real time and online, will make it possible to test economic issue and
economic theory, which are not possible at the moment. As more and
more transactions will be carried out electronically, new economic
issues and problems will start to arise. In the longer run we may see
that a networked based "real time macroeconomy" will emerge with its
own set of economic characteristics. 


2. The scope of NETNOMICS

The new journal NETNOMICS is intended to be an outlet for research in
this emerging field in economics. The first issue is planned for early
1998. Topics that could be addressed by the journal in the immediate
future are: pricing schemes for electronic services, electronic
trading systems, data mining and high frequency data, real time
forecasting and filtering, economic software agents, distributed
database applications, digicash-ecash systems and many more. Evidently
this is only the beginning. In the longer run a whole new field of
research will emerge.
