Rigour Without the Jargon
When the RBA raises interest rates, when housing prices surge, when inflation erodes your purchasing power — these aren't abstract statistics. They directly affect your mortgage, your grocery bills, and your retirement savings.
Aussie Economist was founded with a simple belief: institutional-quality economic analysis, delivered in language that every Australian can understand and act on.
What We Contribute
Our aim is to become Australia's most trusted independent voice on economics — recognised for explaining complex economic issues clearly and influencing better public policy through evidence-based analysis. Three things carry that work:
Research
Economic research, papers, analysis, evidence and data.
Education
Clear explanations that help Australians understand economic issues.
Influence
Commentary and evidence-based perspectives that contribute constructively to Australia's economic conversation.
What We Cover
Housing
Affordability, rents, negative gearing and the forces driving Australian property.
Cost of Living
Grocery prices, childcare and the real pressures on household budgets.
Wages
Pay, real wages, employment and superannuation — what Australians actually earn.
Inflation
CPI, the RBA, interest rates and what rising or falling prices mean for you.
Productivity
Why productivity matters, where Australia is falling behind, and what it costs.
Energy
Electricity prices, the energy transition and their economic impact.
Economic Policy
The budget, tax, trade, banking and the big decisions shaping the economy.
Our Editorial Values
Independence
No corporate backers, no political affiliations, and no advertising. Our analysis follows evidence — not ideology, not interests.
Rigour
Every claim is grounded in data. We cite sources, acknowledge uncertainty, and correct errors transparently when they occur.
Accessibility
The best analysis in the world is worthless if it can't be understood. We never hide behind jargon when plain English does the job.
