ABSTRACT: The rationale of Econographication revolves
around the efficacy of multidimensional graphs as the most effective visual
tool to understand any economic phenomenon from a multidimensional view. The
main motivation behind the creation of Econographication is to evaluate
multidimensional graphs evolved so far in economics and to develop new type of
multidimensional graphs to facilitate the study of economics, as well as
finance and business. Thereby, the mission of Econographication is to offer
academics, researchers and policy maker’s an alternative multidimensional
graphical modeling approach to the research and teaching-learning process of
economics, finance and business from a multidimensional perspective. Hence,
this alternative multidimensional graphical modeling approach is offering a set
of multidimensional coordinate spaces to build different types of
multidimensional graphs to study any economic phenomenon. The following new
types of multi-dimensional coordinate spaces are presented: the pyramid
coordinate space (five axes and infinite
axes); the diamond coordinate space(ten axes and infinite axes); the
4-dimensional coordinate space (vertical position and horizontal position); the
5-dimensional coordinate space (vertical position and horizontal
position); the infinity-dimensional coordinate space
(general approach and specific approach); the inter-linkage coordinate space;
the cube-wrap coordinate space; the mega-surface coordinate space. All these
multi-dimensional coordinate spaces mentioned previously, they are available to
represent graphically 4-dimensions, 5-dimensions, 8-dimensions, 9-dimensions
until infinity-dimensions.
