Ben' s Publications
Books:
Ecometry -Foundations of Economics , 1990, Hebrew.
abstract:
This book proposes a new way to explain and forecast economic processes. We know that good forecasting in a conservative system
can be done (as in the energy and the weather systems, the more closed the system is, the better the forecasting). An autonomous economic
system (country) is a conservative system in Keynes Space, defined as output-money space (market).
Dynamic Economy , 1995, Hebrew.
abstract:
A conservative system in which rates are linearly related is a symmetric system. The symmetry dictates that the rate of inflation equals
the rate of printing minus the growth rate. An empirical test done for 45 countries between the years 1960 - 1993 verifies the two principles.
the conservative one and the symmetry one. Good economic forecasting is possible according to my theory, and the way to do it is by formulating
the 'Motion Equations' and their solutions on the basis of the conservative, symmetry and harmony principles as set out in my books.
Conservation and Symmetry Laws and Stabilization Programs in Economics , 1997, English.
abstract:
An autonomous economic system, i.e., a country, tends to be a conservative and a symmetrical system in Keynes Space
(Output, Money and time), and can therefore be represented as a complex numbers system. This presentation makes it possible
to aggregate (or disaggregate) the system at all levels, from the individual to the most general aggregate (and vice versa).
It also offers a simultaneous solution of the problem of allocation and distribution of useful resources in the market.
Software:
abstract: The
Eco2 software - application of Tamari attractor - enables the study of the economy of a country.
The function of the software
is the performance of simulation in the economy of states: analysis, planning, prediction and comparison of the
economy of states,
according to the state's data as found in the International Financial Statistics
(IMF) for the years 1960-2007, for 20 chosen countries.

From My Personal Point of View
* A picture is worth a thousand words, a metaphor is worth a thousand pictures, and an allegory is worth a thousand metaphors. (21-August-2002)
*
Evolution of form is birth and death, construction and destruction, trail and error, ..... on forever.
But accompanied by a self-correcting mechanism/feedback.
