<p><b>The primary goal of the book is to present the ideas and research findings </b><b>of active researchers from various communities (physicists, economists, </b><b>mathematicians, financial engineers) working in the field of </b><b>"Econophysics", who have undertaken the task of modelling and analyzing </b><b>order-driven markets. Of primary interest in these studies are </b><b>the mechanisms leading to the statistical regularities ("stylized facts") </b><b>of price statistics. Results pertaining to other important issues such as </b><b>market impact, the profitability of trading strategies, or mathematical </b><b>models for microstructure effects, are also presented. Several leading </b><b>researchers in these fields report on their recent work and also review </b><b>the contemporary literature. Some historical perspectives, comments </b><b>and debates on recent issues in Econophysics research are also included.</b></p>
