Hrant Bagratyan is the author of 101 scientific articles and 18 monographs. He is the founder of the new term "megaeconomics" and the theory behind this term. He considers megaeconomics as his greatest scientific achievement.

According to the developments in the economic theory and its flexibility being dependent on changing circumstances and changing world, Bagratyan argues, that along with microeconomics and macroeconomics, there must also be a place for "megaeconomics", where economies are confronted in another, more global dimension.

Hrant Bagratyan is also the author of the theory of innovation cycles. He believes that as society develops, management should periodically decentralize and centralize, depending on what stage of the cycle the society is at. These constant compressions and expansions determine the development of societies.
