Every savvy pilot knows they're nothing without their bleeding-edge equipment. Supply and demand is often the name of this game. EVE's first economic analysis has been released. Written by EVE economist Dr. Eyjo Gudmundsson, previously an economics professor and the Dean of staff at Iceland's University of Akureyi. Dr. Gudmundsson writes that EVE Online's markets ".behave in the same manner as markets in the real world," a critical element that distinguishes EVE from other MMOs. Our resident economist took some time to talk with Phil Elliott of gamesindustry.biz and Leigh Alexander of worldsinmotion.biz.
