Phase Transition Models in Biology and Economics

We are not the first ones to find that statistical descriptions of systems are applicable to systems other than the ones studied in physics. Moreover, applying statistical physics models to systems outside of physics is something that the fields of economics and biology have been doing for a while. In particular, we report the use of models that explore phase transition in systems studied by those fields.
