Ben McCarthy: economics, development, music.
I am an economist working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In addition to working to earn my daily bread, I write music, take photos, and raise children. I have created this webpage as a space to store, for public consumption, various bits and pieces. Please feel free to peruse the contents and drop me a line if you like what you see and hear. Criticism is welcome. I am open to collaborations.
