Discovering the System Structure with Applications in Economic and Social Sciences

Stefan Stefanescu

Journal for Economic Forecasting, 2013, issue 2, 129-140

Abstract: We develop Dobrescu’s ideas (2011, 2013) to discover the main characteristics of an economic or social system. Many classifications of models, based on different dissimilarity measures, were taken into consideration. Also a practical example, which analyzes the relations among some indicators regarding the quality of life in Romania in 2010, was given.

Keywords: system structure; dissimilarity measures; structural levels; hierarchical clustering; quality of life indicators (search for similar items in EconPapers)
