My Journey to Become an Economist

My name is Michael Giordano, and I am going to become an Economist.

I am still a long way away, but am working every day to make that a reality. I am currently in the process of constructing a solid foundation from which to build a life of research. To find out a little bit more about me, see a Writing Sample or my Academic CV.
