Benjamin Stubbing
I’m an economist at the Treasury in Wellington, New Zealand, where I work on research and analysis that makes trade-offs legible to decision-makers.
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
- Advice I often give
- A brief history of instant coffee, with Oscar Sykes, for Works in Progress
- Wicked Problems are Fake
- The coolest things I learned in 2025
