I’m David Jackson, based in Brisbane, Australia.
I’m interested in how institutions work, how decisions get made, and how incentives shape outcomes — particularly in economics, finance, and public policy.
Outside of work, running has been a constant. Running has shaped how I think about patience, consistency, and long-term effort.
I also have a long-standing interest in other cultures. I continue to make progress in
Japanese although it must be the slowest progress ever made. I once got to HSK2 level in Chinese (beginner) but have forgotten most of it! Time spent living and travelling in different countries has influenced how I see the world.
This site is an opportunity to post my thoughts outside of the algorithm.
