Econographicology (First Edition)

Abstract

The rationale of Econographicology revolves around the efficacy of multi-dimensional (MD) graphs as the most effective analytical tool for visualization of any economic phenomena. The main motivation behind the creation of Econographicology is to evaluate graphs evolved so far in economics and to develop new type of graphs to facilitate the study of economics, as well as finance and business. Thereby, the mission of Econographicology is to offer academics, researchers and policy maker’s alternative analytical tool in the research and teaching-learning process of economics, finance and business. The theoretical framework of Econographicology draws very much on graphs design: soft graphs design and hard graphs design. In addition, the research involved is supported by three types of graphs: analytical graphs, descriptive graphs and graphs simulation. At the inception of Econographicology, the following new types of Physical Spaces are presented: Pyramid Physical Space (P-Physical Space), Diamond Physical Space (DPhysical Space), Multi-Dimensional Physical Space (MD-Physical Space), Infinity Physical Space (I-Physical Space) and Multi-functional Pictorial Physical Space (MFP-Physical Space). These Physical Spaces are constructed based on the traditional 3-D space concept, but they represent 4-D, 5-D, 8-D, 9-D and Infinity-Dimension. The multiple-dimensional representations are to facilitate easy understanding of economic phenomena from a general view.

Keywords: Econographicology, Econographication, Multidimensional Coordinate Spaces
