The essentials

  • The accuracy and effectiveness of economic theories and policies are influenced by the selection of economic variables and processes used to describe economic reality.
  • Existing economic theories only capture a small fraction of the factors contributing to economic dynamics, leaving numerous important variables and processes unnoticed or overlooked.
  • This study explores unnoted factors that play a significant role in determining the states and predictions of real economics.
  • Focus is placed on collective economic variables, collective transactions and expectations, mean risks of economic variables and transactions, as well as collective velocities and flows of economic variables, transactions, and expectations.
  • These factors have been largely ignored in current economic theories but are crucial for understanding the evolution of economies.
  • The concept of market-based probability of asset prices is introduced, highlighting the influence of market stochasticity on the randomness of macroeconomic variables.
  • There is an inherent cyclical motion in collective variables, transactions, and expectations within an economic domain composed of continuous numeric risk grades. This cyclical motion is responsible for observed business cycles but has been largely disregarded in traditional economic analyses.
  • Incorporating these unnoticed and overlooked factors into theoretical economics and policy decisions is necessary.
  • Understanding these hidden dynamics will contribute to more accurate assessments of economic realities and enable more effective policy interventions.

The accuracy and effectiveness of economic theories and policies are heavily influenced by the selection of economic variables and processes used to describe economic reality. This poses a challenge in assessing which variables and processes are responsible for driving economic evolution. The existing economic theories only capture a small fraction of the factors that contribute to economic dynamics, leaving numerous important variables and processes unnoticed or overlooked. In this study, we explore these unnoted factors that play a significant role in determining the states and predictions of real economics. We specifically focus on collective economic variables, collective transactions and expectations, mean risks of economic variables and transactions, as well as collective velocities and flows of economic variables, transactions, and expectations. These factors have been largely ignored in current economic theories but are crucial for understanding the evolution of economies. Additionally, we introduce the concept of market-based probability of asset prices and highlight the unnoticed influence of market stochasticity on the randomness of macroeconomic variables. By considering these overlooked aspects, we demonstrate that there is an inherent cyclical motion in collective variables, transactions, and expectations within an economic domain composed of continuous numeric risk grades. This cyclical motion is responsible for observed business cycles but has been largely disregarded in traditional economic analyses. Our findings emphasize the need to incorporate these unnoticed and overlooked factors into theoretical economics and policy decisions. By doing so, we open up a wide field for further studies by academic researchers, economists authorities, high-level politicians, and policymakers. Understanding these hidden dynamics will contribute to more accurate assessments of economic realities and enable more effective policy interventions to address challenges in our complex global economy.
