It is hard to exaggerate the role of economic aggregators -- functions that summarize numerous and / or heterogeneous data -- in economic models since the early XX$^{th}$ century. In many cases, as witnessed by the pioneering works of Cobb…

In their seminal 1928 work, Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas empirically validated the Cobb-Douglas production function through statistical analysis of U.S. economic data from 1899 to 1923. While this established the function's theoretical…

The relationship between micro-structure and macro-structure of complex systems using information geometry has been dealt by several authors. From this perspective, we are going to apply it as a geometrical structure connecting both…

We introduce \emph{Information Topology}: a framework that unifies information theory and algebraic topology by treating \emph{cycle closure} as the primitive operation of inference. The starting point is the \emph{dot-cycle dichotomy},…

Although the notion of entropy lies at the core of statistical mechanics, it is not often used in statistical mechanical models to characterize phase transitions, a role more usually played by quantities such as various order parameters,…

Complex models in physics, biology, economics, and engineering are often sloppy, meaning that the model parameters are not well determined by the model predictions for collective behavior. Many parameter combinations can vary over decades…
