Bienvenidos a Complex Effects

Complex Effects is about making sense of the world via data analysis, policy decisions, and human behavior. It is written by me, Austin Anaya, an environmental economist and writer out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I write about climate policy, economics, and politics - local and abroad. I utilize my experience in impact investing and economic policy to provide in-depth analysis at no cost to you.

In a world where local newspapers are owned by special interest groups, Complex Effects gives its readers the opportunity to gain free insight from a fresh, holistic point of view.

Why subscribe?

My goal is to provide:

• Broad analysis of today’s most pressing issues. I take a macro approach to my research to fully develop the story and portray it’s dynamics from all sides.

• Policy solutions that aren’t talked about by investor-owned papers. Often about New Mexico, I offer solutions backed by academic research and economic precedent.

• Optimistic viewpoints on the world, how we fit in it, and the people trying to make it better.

Stay in tune with the policy that constructs your life, and a community of people who share your interests. You may read about:

• Climate policies - local, national, and abroad

• Mosquitos and climate change

• Zoning laws that increase the cost of housing

• Cooperatives and wealth inequality

• Bilingual public education reform

• Global polarization

• And more

About the author

Outside of authoring Complex Effects, I live in Albuquerque, NM, and I eat a lot of green chile. I was the first economist for the New Mexico Environment Department, I have an MBA from Adams State University, and I’ve had my writing featured in multiple local publications.
