Maxwell Bullard
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Economics at Texas A&M University on the 2025-26 job market. As an applied microeconomist, my research spans the fields of public, health, and behavioral economics. My current work centers on questions relating to children’s background, their investments, and subsequent outcomes in various settings.
I utilize both naturally occurring variation and field experiments to measure the causal effects of important events and policies on family well-being. My approach aims to provide robust insights into how different environments shape individual outcomes and how policies may influence these processes.

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Economics at Texas A&M University on the 2025-26 job market. I utilize field and lab experiments along with applied microeconomic methods to study topics encompassed in Development and Labor economics.
My current research uses a gender and development lens to look at the individual and community implications of war as well as the gender differences in promotion/evaluations. My solo-authored work examines the impacts of childhood trauma on adulthood household violence in Uganda and gender differences in the job market for field enumerators in the global south. My current lab experiments explore how differential environments (competitive vs cooperative and virtual vs in-person) impact gender discrimination in the workplace.
