The objective is to offer an appropriate context and a starting point for those who are new to computational intelligence in finance and economics and to give an overview of the most recent works. A classification with five different main areas is presented. Those areas are related with different applications of the most modern computational intelligence techniques showing a new perspective for approaching finance and economics problems. Each research area is described with several works and applications. Finally, a review of the research works selected for this special issue is given.application/pdfeng© BlackwellComputational intelligenceFinanceEconomicsApplicationsresearch articleInformática10.1111/j.1467-8640.2007.00297.xopen access1112116Computational Intelligence23
