CALCULATION METHODS OF ECONOMIC SYSTEMS: A Proposed Unified Method for Transaction Value

Abstract Economic value is studied through siloed lenses—hedonic pricing, productivity accounting, behavioral valuation under uncertainty, and transaction-cost/finance perspectives on exchange frictions and risk. This paper proposes the Calculation Methods of Economic Systems (CMES), a common algebra for bilateral transaction value that codes determinants into four composite element classes: value‑adding capacity (CEv), archived stocks/records/reputation (CEa), communication and coordination quality (CEc), and evaluative governance and risk perception (CEe). CMES links transaction systems via a master equation with a transformation scalar σ that is anchored, under stated competitive conditions, to comparative productivity. Reduced-form evidence from real estate and smartphones shows the four-component proxy set explains meaningful within‑market variation and remains robust under spatial dependence. A structural cross‑regime test in corporate bonds rejects the uniform‑σ restriction, isolating leverage‑driven nonlinearity in the evaluative component and thereby mapping where the linear additive baseline must be extended. The paper closes with falsifiable predictions and a reproducible coding protocol designed for pre‑registered validation across additional markets.
