Built by Mark
I’m Mark Jayson Martinez Farol, a quantitative economist. I earned my master’s in economics from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my bachelor’s in business administration and economics there as well.
About
About Macro by Mark
Macro by Mark is a public-data macro research and learning product built to help people move from releases and indicators into dashboards, models, and interpretation without losing rigor.
Why Macro by Mark exists
I built Macro by Mark for people who want serious economics without the usual wall between entry and depth. I care a lot about educational accessibility because I know what it feels like to struggle through economics content even when the interest is real.
How I think people learn
Some people need intuition first. Some need the graph, the model, the data release, or the proof. The goal here is not to flatten economics into one teaching style. It is to let people move through the subject in the order that actually helps them understand it.
Public macro data first
The core product is built around public macroeconomic releases, release timing, and transparent source context.
Serious but usable
The aim is to make economics easier to enter without making it smaller, softer, or less rigorous.
Browse to action
Indicators, calendar, dashboards, models, and notes are meant to connect cleanly instead of living as separate tools.
