The Institute of Economics develops formal approaches to understanding economic systems through information — moving from data quantification to information quantification. Economic systems are not composed of numbers alone; they are composed of information, relationships, expectations, signals, decisions, and outcomes.
The Information Quantification Model formalizes the path from observed data to structured information, and from information to quantifiable economic states. It treats data not as isolated measurements, but as inputs that gain meaning through context, relations, and signals within an economic system.
Information is then organized through expectations, decisions, and interactions — forming an information state that can be linked to measurable economic conditions. The model provides a conceptual bridge from data quantification to information quantification, with its formal mathematical specification to be developed as the research program advances.
