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 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 (E_o), assets (A), liabilities (L), and equity (Eq) for the economic system

selecting a target variable for analysis;

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

$\frac{I}{P+\sum <br><br>E_o}=\frac{A}{L+\mathrm{Eq}};<br><br>\mathrm{and}$

promoting one or more results of the analysis.

2. A method as in claim 1, further comprising predicting an economic impact of an event on one or more economic fundamentals of the economic system.

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

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

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

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

10. A method as in claim 9, 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.

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

12. A method as in claim 1, wherein a computer or a calculator performs the analysis.

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

receiving data related to one or more variables characteristic of an economic system;

selecting a target variable for analysis;

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

$\frac{I}{P+\sum <br><br>E_o}=\frac{A}{L+\mathrm{Eq}}$

where I is revenue, P is profits, E_o is expenses, A is assets, L is liabilities, and Eq is equity for the economic system; and

promoting one or more results of the analysis.

14. A system comprising:

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

receiving data related to one or more variables characteristic of an economic system;

selecting a target variable for analysis;

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

$\frac{I}{P+\sum <br><br>E_o}=\frac{A}{L+\mathrm{Eq}}$

where I is revenue, P is profits, E_o is expenses, A is assets, L is liabilities, and Eq is equity for the economic system; and

promoting one or more results of the analysis.

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

16. A system as in claim 14, further comprising a user interface via which a the results of the analysis are presented to a user.

17. A system as in claim 14, further comprising means for receiving the data related to the one or more variables.

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

19. A system as in claim 17, 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.

20. A system as in claim 14, wherein two or more target variables are selected for analysis.
