Benjamin Stubbing
I’m an analyst at New Zealand’s Treasury in Wellington. An economist by training, I spend much of my time writing code (or, increasingly, reviewing the AIs’), puzzling over data, and trying to make trade-offs in public policy a little clearer.
I write about economics, books, and the coolest things I learn each year. There is more about me, and I circulate an old-school links blast on weekends.
Selected writing
