Abstract(s)

Self-similarity is a property of complex networks, commonly observed in many distinct areas of science. Many real networks are said to be ¸ Sscale-freeˇT since they show a power law behavior. In this paper, we focus in self-similarity of economical phenomena. For that purpose we analyze data and their corresponding statistical properties. We approximate data by trendlines, whose parameters are unequivocally related with each type of phenomenon.
