About Stephen Kirchner
What is Institutional Economics?
A weekly newsletter by Dr Stephen Kirchner about economics, finance and public policy.
Most of my career was spent in financial markets, as a fx and fixed income analyst with S&P Institutional Market Services in Sydney and Singapore and later as chief economist at the Australian Financial Markets Association, representing financial market participants to government and regulators.
I have also worked as an academic, in think tanks and as an adviser to members of the Australian House of Representatives and Senate.
My writing has featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Straits Times, Australian Financial Review, The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald, Sky Business, and with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
I have also published in leading academic journals including Public Choice, The Australian Economic Review, Australian Journal of Political Science and Economic Analysis and Policy and with think-tanks including the United States Studies Centre, Fraser Institute, Cato Institute, Mercatus Center and the Centre for Independent Studies.
