G&A-The Priemer Economic Merchant Bank

Governing Capital, Institutions, and Policy Through Economic Judgment

Small Title

Gillory & Associates is an Economic Merchant Bank—a firm built on the conviction that capital, markets, and institutions require economic reasoning, not financial fashion.

We operate where theory meets capital, where policy meets structure, and where long-term judgment replaces short-term optimization.

What We Do

Gillory & Associates provides economic judgment to those responsible for allocating capital, designing institutions, and navigating structural economic change.

We advise, invest, and publish at the level where economic order is formed.

OUR VISION

Research Alignment

Grounded in Independent Economic Research

Gillory & Associates applies economic analysis that is grounded in independent, methodologically rigorous research conducted through affiliated academic and research institutions. This alignment ensures that all applied work reflects established economic reasoning rather than ad hoc judgment, market sentiment, or transactional incentives.

Our research alignment is intentional. We believe that applied economic judgment must be informed by disciplined inquiry, formal analysis, and continuous engagement with the broader economic literature.

Separation of Research and Application

Gillory & Associates does not conduct speculative research, experimental theory development, or academic instruction. All foundational research is undertaken independently through affiliated institutions, including Andrew Carnegie University and The Institute for Economic Research and Analysis.

This separation preserves:

Academic independence
Methodological integrity
Analytical credibility
Freedom from commercial influence

Applied conclusions at Gillory & Associates reflect economics that has already been subjected to internal scrutiny, peer engagement, and formal review.

Areas of Research Alignment

Our applied work draws upon research across core areas of economic inquiry, including:

Economic structure and coordination
Institutions, law, and incentive systems
Capital formation and time structure
Non-equilibrium market processes
Monetary and banking systems
Measurement, accounting, and economic representation
Risk, uncertainty, and irreversibility
Strategy and decision-making under constraint

These areas represent enduring questions in economics and form the analytical foundation for our applied services.

Engagement With the Economic Community

Gillory & Associates remains engaged with the broader economic community through ongoing review of academic literature, participation in research discussions, and collaboration with scholars across disciplines.

We believe that applied economics must remain in active dialogue with evolving research while remaining insulated from transient intellectual fashions.
