Economy Model?

Has there been or is there available something that outlines the details of the economy model--where the various numbers on the economy screen come from ("military" in particular), what things cost month to month, how morale affects tax income (and vice versa), etc., etc., etc.?
Since you're simulating an economy, maybe some of these things need to remain concealed, but those that are directly affected by the player's actions, such as deciding to build something or not would not only be helpful, but make the game more realistic in the sense that you know that you're getting into a particular monthly spending situation, that you're incurring mainteenance costs of X, etc.
Are we too early in the process for this kind of info?
