Welcome
I am an economist studying economic growth.
Use the navigation bar at the top of the page to find information on my research, my undergraduate textbook with Chad Jones, my book Fully Grown, or the Growth Economics Blog.
If you are a student looking for class information, everything you need is on Canvas.
I recently moved the blog itself over to Substack. You can subscribe using this:
or visit the site directly. Thanks.
