Who’s Behind Decode Econ

Founded by Dr. Abdullah Al-Bahrani, a nationally recognized economics educator, Decode Econ helps readers, educators, and organizations make sense of the economy—one story at a time.

Dr. Al-Bahrani, known as Dr. A, is an award-winning professor and communicator whose work bridges the classroom, the newsroom, and the boardroom. A national recipient of the prestigious Kenneth G. Elzinga Award for Excellence in Economic Education, he is trusted by students, professionals, and media alike to explain how economics shapes our daily lives.

Driven by the belief that economics should empower rather than intimidate, Dr. A created Decode Econ to build a community of curious minds—people who want to understand how policy, markets, and everyday choices intersect.

Whether you’re a student, educator, or leader, Decode Econ helps you connect the dots between data and decisions, theory and reality, news and impact.
