In their functioning, economic systems integrate coordination mechanisms aimed at reducing uncertainty and ensuring predictability in the relationships among their components. As economic interdependencies intensify and information flows accelerate, economic shocks tend to produce effects not merely locally, but also on the relationships among agents, the distribution of possible states of the economic system, and the functionality of economic coordination mechanisms. From this perspective, informational entropy provides an important framework for explaining economic shocks, as it enables the analysis of the changes caused by shocks to the economic system’s informational structure and its capacity to maintain the predictability and coherence of economic processes. Thus, economic shocks can be understood as processes that increase the informational entropy of the economic system, amplifying uncertainty within it, disrupting coordination mechanisms, and propagating perturbations through the structures of the economic system. An important factor in this dynamic is the system’s structure and the position of its central nodes, which influence the relationships among components, their associated feedback mechanisms, and thus the transmission, amplification, or absorption of entropy. In this paper, we examine these aspects within a theoretical framework based on systems theory, information theory, and the analysis of economic interdependence structures. We argue that the stability of the economic system is not reducible to a simple return to equilibrium, but depends on the system’s ability to maintain its informational functionality over time. The paper is predominantly theoretical and, in methodological terms, uses the definition of relevant concepts and logical analysis.
