Maxwell Tabarrok

I am an economics PhD student at Harvard Business School. My research interests include the economics of growth and innovation, urban economics, and AI.

I run a blog called Maximum Progress, which covers topics in economics, mathematics, philosophy, history, and technology. Here are a few of my favorite pieces so far. You can read all of my essays on my Substack here and follow me on X for updates.

In my free time I like to cook with my fiancée (especially Indian and Korean food), play piano and bass guitar, play video games like Civilization and Minecraft, and go on walks to explore the areas around me.
