In the natural sciences, complex non-linear systems composed of large numbers of smaller subunits provide an opportunity to apply the tools of statistical mechanics and information theory. The principle of maximum entropy can usually provide shortcuts in the treatment of these complex systems....

This paper empirically examines the hypothesis that diffusion of information is not uniform across all sectors of a market. Large industries or industries where trading volume is substantially larger attract attention of a large number of investors who in turn make these industries...
