What influences does alts have over the economics of EVE? Is there any sort of research, investigation or something similar?
I can only hypothesize that:
-They create demand (they need to buy ships, modules, implants, etc). -Some create supply (some are manufacturing alts).

No, they really arn't. If there weren't multiple alts on a single account then people would simply use multiple accounts to achieve the same goals - and that would be for the worse because the more wealthy players (with ingame or RL iskies) would have an easier time using alts. 3 is a fine limit as it is - no need to be hyperbolic about the 'evil' of alts.

You just got trolled son.. Keep refreshing the page till a certain signature of his shows up.
Also: 5 accounts and 15 well skilled alts ftw as it sates my hunger for variety. Never understood how people could stick to only one small part of what eve offers for years at a time..

Alts suck. I have only been one person since conception and been able to do all parts that interest me. PVP, missions, eve economy, invention/production. There is no reason to have an alt when any character can train any skill. Been playing for free since the first 30d card I purchased for 128m and since I only pay for one account, it doesn't hurt the wallet at all. Saving enough iskies to buy that officer fitted faction bs and not worry about taking it out to low sec for a spin.

So a second account ran by the same person doesn't qualify as an alt? Awesome.
I'm going to use your quote to counter an anti-alt argument I always have with someone who's in my alliance. Thanks mate! ---

What do you have against rich people anyhow?
It isn't our fault you are stupid, lazy, incompetent and easily conned into believing something of no value has value. Plus you are distracted by shiny things, so why shouldn't we use it to our advantage to further keep you under control? After all the mass population left on its own would only degenerate into complete chaos and anarchy....
Oh and there is no limit as to the number of alts one may have. Well there is; it has to do with personal resources but you wouldn't understand that.
And alts are good.

I have to agree that one. They far too easily let one to circumenvent to results of ones actions. And yes I have too many accounts. NPC corp freighter alts for wartime, myriad of pos gunners, cyno alt network, capital alt, funding characters, R&D alts ... etc. EVE is serious business afterall.

As much as it would pain me to lose the 8 datacore alts I have in my four accts, I have to say that this would be a better game if there was only one character per acct allowed.
