Arthabeed is the pseudonym of a corporate executive in Nepal who has developed an interest in economics and analyzing economics. Artha (artha) in Nepal is loosely used to mean both Finance as well as Economics while in Sanskrit it means wealth and one of the four goals of life. Beed pronounced (vid) is used to mean an expert. BEED here is used as an acronym for Business, Enterprise, Economy and Development; the four key areas that the columnist likes to delve upon. The Beed delves into issues not from an orthodox economist' perspective with mathematical models, but more as an observer of issues that affect the functioning of business and economy.

The column Economic Sense by Arthabeed appears every fortnight in Nepali Times, Nepal's premier English weekly. Since 1999 when the weekly was launched over a hundred columns have been published.
