Central Economic Mathematical Institute

The Central Economic Mathematical Institute is a research facility of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow dedicated to developing economic theories through mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis. Located on Nakhimovsky Prospect, it operates specialized research departments focused on economic theory and econometrics.

The institute was established in 1963 as a Federal State Institution, growing out of the Laboratory of Economics and Mathematical Methods founded by Vasily Sergeevich Nemchinov in 1958. This founding reflected the Soviet focus on applying mathematical approaches to analyze economic problems.

The building displays a striking 1976 mosaic artwork showing a Möbius strip, created through a partnership between architect Leonid Pavlov and artists V. Vasiltsov and E. Zharenova. This artistic element remains a distinctive feature of the institute's facade.

The institute operates several active research departments with different specializations that may offer insight into ongoing scientific work for visitors. Keep in mind it is an academic facility where access may require prior arrangements or scheduling.

In its early years, the institute attempted to build a nationwide economic information network and system of state computer centers. This project represented one of the Soviet Union's pioneering efforts to create integrated data processing infrastructure for economic planning.
