Applied Economics Commentary

Analytical evaluations connecting real world news and events to theoretical economic concepts


“Polonomic Papers is my way of learning how to think like an economist.”




I am 19, almost 20, and I am the creator and author of PolonomicPapers.com, an applied economics commentary website.

I created this website out of boredom whilst I was in hospital, but it has quickly turned into quite a passion of mine. On top of writing for my weekly newsletter and one article every fortnight, I study a Bachelor of Economics majoring in Finance, at the University of Technology Sydney.

Every article is written all in my own words, and researched and referenced using credible sources, always.

Whilst you can’t expect any new ideas from me yet, expect questioning takes and a unique perspective from an economics student.
