CSH scientist Johannes Wachs and CSH External Faculty member János Kertesz from the Department of Network and Data Science at Central European University organized a satellite workshop within the framework of the Networks 2021 conference.
Abstract:
Economic crimes including corruption, fraud, collusion, and tax evasion impose significant costs to societies all around the world. These crimes are carried out by groups with sophisticated organizational patterns, and leave complex traces in data. The application of network methods to study the structure and dynamics of economic crime have made significant advances in recent years.
In this satellite, we gather leading researchers applying the methods and theories of network science and social network analysis to the problems and challenges of economic crime. Our aims are to survey recent advances and to encourage the cross-pollination of ideas between disciplines.
