The Global Risks Forum (GRF)
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics Capital Nexus rests on. Each method has a canonical page in the STEM Commons, hosted by GCRI, and a page here on how it is applied in this field.

The Capital Nexus STEM foundation is the set of canonical methods its findings depend on, from financial economics and macro-finance to policy, institutional and decision science. Each method has a canonical STEM Commons page and a page here on its use in the development finance field.
Fig.The methods this platform draws on and what each one feeds. Design, not a record.
The cities where people, assets and financial activity concentrate, shown for Japan and Korea as an example geography for this subject.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| STEM Commons | The shared reference of science, technology, engineering and mathematics methods for the Nexus network, hosted by GCRI, with one canonical page per method and a named steward platform. |
| Steward platform | The platform that maintains the canonical description of a method in the STEM Commons and reviews how other platforms apply it. |
| Financial economics and macro-finance | Financial economics and macro-finance study how asset prices, credit and financial institutions interact with the real economy. |
| Economics and development economics | Economics and development economics study how societies produce, distribute and consume resources and how living standards change. |
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
