Strategic Intelligence for the Algorithmic Age
The Economy Research is the research and analytical division of The Economy — an independent knowledge arm dedicated to advancing the study of markets, institutions, and artificial intelligence as interconnected systems.
It functions as both a think tank and a publishing platform, producing original research papers, strategic commentaries, and long-form analyses that examine how data, governance, and technology reshape global structures of power and value.
At its core, The Economy Research seeks to understand one question:
How do intelligent systems — human, institutional, and artificial — learn, compete, and evolve within markets?
Mission
The mission of The Economy Research is to integrate academic rigor, journalistic clarity, and institutional insight into one coherent discipline: Strategic Intelligence.
It aims to translate research into structured reasoning that can inform decision-makers across sectors — from finance and policy to education and media.
Its objectives include:
- Developing original research on data governance, institutional design, and algorithmic systems.
- Publishing accessible intelligence that bridges academic research and executive decision-making.
- Maintaining intellectual independence through peer-reviewed oversight by the Mathematical Data Science Association (MDSA) and alignment with the Gordon Institute of Artificial Intelligence (GIAI) network.
Through these principles, The Economy Research serves as both the intellectual foundation and strategic compass of The Economy.
The Economy Strategic Review
At the center of The Economy Research lies its flagship publication series — The Economy Strategic Review.
This series compiles working papers, essays, and books authored by researchers and affiliated scholars, analyzing deep structural issues in economics, technology, and institutional behavior.
Each volume or article functions as a strategic briefing for the intelligent reader — combining data science with political economy, and institutional theory with practical foresight.
The Strategic Review is divided into three principal formats:
- Working Papers – Empirical and theoretical studies on institutional intelligence, algorithmic governance, and systemic economics.
- Books & Monographs – Long-form analyses and cross-disciplinary works that frame global transformations in markets, media, and governance.
- Columns & Essays – Short-form reflections linking current events to deeper institutional and algorithmic contexts.
All publications adhere to the Institutional Intelligence Framework (IIF), developed in collaboration with SIAI and validated by MDSA, ensuring analytical consistency and methodological depth.
Integration within The Economy Ecosystem
The Economy Research operates as the intellectual engine for the broader Economy network:
- The Economy Ranking transforms its theories into measurable institutional indicators.
- The Economy Signal builds data systems that operationalize its findings.
- The Economy Secret applies its insights to confidential, market-sensitive intelligence.
- The Economy Senate hosts discourse and peer dialogue around its publications.
This integration ensures that research does not remain abstract — it becomes institutionally alive, informing policy, strategy, and investment with precision and discipline.
Philosophy
The Economy Research is founded on a simple conviction:
“Institutions are not intelligent because they have data. They are intelligent because they can interpret it.”
Its work embodies The Economy’s broader philosophy — that knowledge must be both analytic and reflective, connecting mathematics to meaning, and structure to strategy.
Every paper, book, and essay seeks not only to describe the world, but to reveal its underlying logic.
Vision
The long-term vision of The Economy Research is to establish a new paradigm of institutional scholarship — one that combines the precision of research institutes with the strategic function of intelligence organizations.
It aspires to build a global reference point for understanding how institutions think, adapt, and govern in an era where artificial and human intelligence are inseparable.
By uniting data science, economics, and institutional philosophy, The Economy Research positions itself as the intellectual standard of The Economy — and the foundation of a more intelligent public sphere.
