Current economic theories miss most of economic dynamics.

problem Accuracy of economic theories and policies depend on economic variables and processes.
method Identify and analyze overlooked economic variables and processes.
result Many economic variables and processes not accounted for in current theories.

Second-order economic theory considers new variables to improve price volatility predictions.

problem Current economic models focus on first-order variables, missing second-order variables that affect price volatility.
method Introduces second-order economic theory with new variables composed of sums of squares of agents' transactions.
result Second-order economic theory complements first-order variables and introduces new macroeconomic variables.

A new constructivist approach to modeling in economics and theory of consciousness is proposed. The state of elementary object is defined as a set of its measurable consumer properties. A proprietor's refusal or consent for the offered transaction is considered as a result of elementary economic measurement. Elementary…

In this article, we address the question of how non-knowledge about future events that influence economic agents' decisions in choice settings has been formally represented in economic theory up to date. To position our discussion within the ongoing debate on uncertainty, we provide a brief review of historical develop…

The paper surveys network methods for understanding economic and financial systems.

problem Understanding interconnectedness among economic and financial entities.
method Survey of network theory, measures, and structures for economic and financial networks.
result Network methods provide tools to quantify structural properties of economic systems.

Tax effects on consumer behavior are ambiguous due to irrationality and limited willpower.

problem Ambiguity in tax effects on consumer behavior due to irrationality and limited willpower.
method Examined through behavioral and neuroeconomics, analyzing consumer behavior in real life.
result Tax effects on consumer behavior are ambiguous due to irrationality and limited willpower.

Model estimates urban capabilities driving economic performance.

problem Estimating the drivers of urban economic complexity and their connection to performance.
method Derived a model to infer capabilities from employment data, statistically superior to alternatives.
result The derived model explains known urban scaling and economic complexity results and correlates with economic performance.

Price and return predictions are limited by economic complexity, not just volatility.

problem Limited accuracy of price and return probability forecasts by Gaussian distributions.
method Analyzes economic reasons behind limitations in predicting price and return statistical moments.
result Predictions of price and return probabilities by Gaussian distributions are inaccurate due to economic complexity.

The study applies Dimensional Analysis to the neoclassical economic growth model.

problem Inconsistency in the neoclassical economic growth model.
method Dimensional Analysis was used to evaluate and adjust the model.
result An adjustment to the neoclassical economic growth model is required to satisfy the principle of dimensional homogeneity.

Introduces a new price measure and a second-order economic theory for volatility forecasting.

problem Forecasting price volatility in financial markets.
method Develops a new price measure and a second-order economic theory to model price volatility.
result Shows that second-order economic theory improves forecasting of price volatility.

Developing an AI economist agent using RAG, knowledge graphs, and LLMs for economic scenario analysis.

problem Economic scenario analysis using large language models and knowledge graphs.
method Proposing an RAG-based AI economist framework that utilizes knowledge graphs and LLMs.
result Improves economic coherence and traceability in generated reports.

Notions of Darwinian selection have been implicit in economic theory for at least sixty years. Richard Nelson and Sidney Winter have argued that while evolutionary thinking was prevalent in prewar economics, the postwar Neoclassical school became almost entirely preoccupied with equilibrium conditions and their mathema…

More than thirty years ago, Charnes, Cooper and Schinnar (1976) established an enlightening contact between economic production functions (EPFs) -- a cornerstone of neoclassical economics -- and information theory, showing how a generalization of the Cobb-Douglas production function encodes homogeneous functions. As ex…

Examines predictability and complexity of economic time series using symbolic dynamics and entropy.

problem Understanding the predictability and complexity of economic time series.
method Symbolic dynamics and Information theory (entropy and uncertainty).
result Economic time series are complex and can be expressed in terms of information production.

A relation between interest rates and inflation is presented using a two component economic model and a simple general principle. Preliminary results indicate a remarkable similarity to classical economic theories, in particular that of Wicksell.

Paper formalizes Simon's satisficing through FFSD, proving its equivalence to expected utility theory.

problem Formalizing Herbert Simon's bounded rationality concept in economic decision-making.
method Developed FFSD framework using Lean 4 theorem prover, proving equivalence to expected utility theory.
result Equivalence theorem linking FFSD to expected utility maximization for approximate indicator functions.

In this article we will show that the Macro-Economy and its growth can be modelled and explained exactly in principle by commonly known Field Theory from theoretical physics. We will show the main concepts and calculations needed and show that calculation and prediction of economic growth then gets indeed possible in D…

Our study shows that many firms would accumulate at zero output level (namely, Bankruptcy status) if a perfectly competitive market reaches full employment (namely, those people who should obtain employment have obtained employment). As a result, appearance of economic crisis is determined by two points; that is, (a). …

The algebra of transactions as fundamental measurements is constructed on the basis of the analysis of their properties and represents an expansion of the Boolean algebra. The notion of the generalized economic measurements of the economic quantity and quality of objects of transactions is introduced. It has been shown…

Paper explores parallels between thermodynamics and economics, focusing on stock market trends.

problem Understanding trend changes in stock markets.
method Uses phase transition and renormalization theory from thermodynamics to predict economic events.
result Shows how thermodynamic principles can explain economic phenomena like stock market trends.

A simpler measure of economic complexity derived from product diversity.

problem Economic growth theory's reliance on GDP as the sole indicator of a country's capabilities.
method Log Product Diversity (LPD) derived from a combinatorial model of production.
result LPD better predicts economic growth than conventional variables like GDP and human capital.

This paper argues that the fundamental principle of contemporary financial economics is balanced reciprocity, not the principle of utility maximisation that is important in economics more generally. The argument is developed by analysing the mathematical Fundamental Theory of Asset Pricing with reference to the emergen…
