Virtual Economy Index
Status: In development
The Virtual Economy Index will be a reproducible measure of activity across virtual-world economies. We will not publish a value until it is real.
Before the Index goes live, we will publish
- The question it answers and what it excludes
- Every input source, with licensing status
- The calculation and weighting method
- A historical series so movements have context
- An update schedule and a limitations statement
What we won't do
Show synthetic or placeholder numbers, label platform transaction volume as GDP, or present estimates as measurements.
