Welcome To the Bottom-Up Economist

 

The Bottom-Up Economist studies the public commentary and financial reports of Corporate America. We aggregate and analyze the disclosures made by hundreds of executive management teams to identify fundamental insights for investors.


Through the use of up-to-date corporate results and management commentary, The Bottom-Up Economist attempts to discern economic trends before they are reflected in government data and become common knowledge. Our unique approach to macroeconomic analysis can be used as a complement or substitute to more traditional methods.
