Hi, I’m Anne Ramstetter Wenzel, M.A., blogger for “Reflections of an Economist” and Principal with Econosystems, an economics and market research firm located in Menlo Park, California. I’m a ‘boots on the ground’ economist, and have had a passion for relating economics to every day life since I took my first economics class at San Francisco State University. I work closely with small business owners on their business plans and business strategies, so I’m always looking for growing markets.
I launched this blog so that I could share my ideas on where the economy is heading, and which markets are growing or contracting.
Prior to founding Econosystems in 1999, I was economist for the Chemical Economics Handbook in the Chemical Marketing Research Center at SRI International, Menlo Park, California. I’m President of the San Francisco Chapter of the National Association for Business Economics (SF NABE), as was Treasurer for the Silicon Valley Roundtable chapter of the National Association for Business Economics, and vice-chair for the NABE Financial Roundtable. I received my B.A. and M.A. degrees in Economics from San Francisco State University, and am a Certified Business Adviser for the Silicon Valley Small Business Development Center.
I’ll be updating this blog about once a week. If you’d like be notified of updates as they’re posted, fill in the Email Subscription information, in the column to the right.
