Diary of an Econ Student

What the hell is it?

Well, it’s simple. After spending more and more time buried in economics — lectures, papers, datasets — I realised I had no outlet to use all that knowledge in an entertaining, useful, and maybe even a little thought-provoking way.

The turning point was my bachelor’s thesis, my first big project, when I discovered I actually enjoy writing about economics (shocking, I know). And here we are.

If you’re looking for commentary from a Nobel laureate, you’re in the wrong place. If you want polished insights from a tenured professor, also not here.

What you will find are the notes of a student currently pursuing a master’s in Economic Research — a mix of thoughts on mostly macroeconomic topics, condensed versions of my academic papers (a fancy way of saying home assignments), and ideas sparked by books, articles, and data I stumble across.

So, sit back, scroll through, and enjoy.
