Abstract

Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for analyzing equilibrium flow within economic system. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at one or more programmable processors, data related to one or more variables characteristic of an economic system, the one or more variables being selected from a group consisting of revenue (I), profit/loss (P), expenses (E₀), assets (A), liabilities (L), and equity (Eq) for the economic system;

selecting, by the one or more programmable processors, a target variable for analysis;

analyzing, by the one or more programmable processors, the economic system using an equilibrium flow equation as follows;

2. A method as in claim 1 wherein the event changes the value of one or more of the one or more variables.

3. A method as in claim 1, wherein the promoting comprises displaying results of the analysis to a user via a user interface.

4. A method as in claim 1, wherein the receiving comprises receipt of data entered by a user via a user interface in response to one or more prompts.

5. A method as in claim 1, wherein the receiving comprises receipt of data conveyed by a machine readable signal or on a machine-readable medium.

6. A method as in claim 5, wherein the data are supplied from one or more databases that record economic data representative of the economic system.

7. A method as in claim 1, wherein the target variable is selected for analysis by a user via a user interface.

8. A method as in claim 1, wherein the target variable is selected for analysis by a automated means.

9. A method as in claim 8, wherein the automated means makes the selection according to an analysis algorithm, as part of a stochastic analysis (i.e. a Monte Carlo simulation or the like), or randomly.

10. A method as in claim 1, wherein two or more target variables are selected for analysis.

11. A method as in claim 1, wherein the analyzing comprises a limit analysis to determine a threshold effect of the target variable and predict how a change in the target variable impacts the economic system.

12. An article comprising a machine-readable medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising:

receiving, at the one or more machines, data related to one or more variables characteristic of an economic system;

selecting, by the one or more machines, a target variable for analysis;

analyzing, by the one or more machines, the economic system using an equilibrium flow equation as follows;

13. A system comprising:

a processor and a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform operations comprising;

receiving, at the processor, data related to one or more variables characteristic of an economic system;

selecting, by the processor, a target variable for analysis;

analyzing, by the processor, the economic system using an equilibrium flow equation as follows;

14. A system as in claim 13, further comprising a user interface via which a user can selected the target variable for analysis.

15. A system as in claim 13, further comprising a user interface via which a the results of the analysis are presented to a user.

16. A system as in claim 13, further comprising means for receiving the data related to the one or more variables.

17. A system as in claim 16, wherein the means for receiving the data comprises a mechanism that reads information coded on a machine-readable medium.

18. A system as in claim 16, wherein the means for receiving data comprises a wired or wireless connection configured to receive a machine-readable signal from a database comprising the data related to the one or more variables.

19. A system as in claim 13, wherein two or more target variables are selected for analysis.
