AI and agentic coding, filtered for economists.
AI is revolutionizing all aspects of economics, and it's impossible to keep up with all the changes. In The AI Economist newsletter, I sort through the frontier of agentic coding and AI for what's practically useful for economists.
“It's good. I promise” - Aniket
§ 03
What economists have to say about Aniket
Tim de SilvaAssistant Professor of Economics, Stanford Graduate School of Business
Alexander KustovAssociate Professor, University of Notre Dame
Nick TsivanidisAssistant Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley
“Learning the frontier of agentic coding practices from Aniket has been a rewarding experience! Aniket is passionate about the topic and extremely knowledgeable. He has a talent for explaining complex topics clearly. Much of the content online about agentic coding is geared toward building apps, so having Aniket tailor the material to my specific needs was incredibly helpful.”

“The fact that Aniket gears the material specifically to economists rather than to a generic technical audience makes a huge difference. I would strongly recommend the course to any economics department, and honestly to any social scientist.”

Joseph Flavian GomesAssociate Professor of Economics, IRES/LIDAM, UCLouvain
“Aniket introduced me to a whole new magical world of agentic coding and helped me get up to speed far faster than I could have on my own. My productivity across many tasks skyrocketed, and my reliance on research assistants decreased substantially. I recommend Aniket 100% to any economist getting up to speed with agentic coding.”

Alexey MakarinAssistant Professor of Applied Economics, MIT Sloan
“Aniket is an amazing teacher and showed me how to effectively incorporate Claude Code into my research. Highly recommended for any economist trying to level up their workflow. For economists working with messy data or complex empirical workflows, this is a productivity boom, and working with Aniket will pay immediate dividends.”

“Aniket has quickly gotten me up to speed on Claude Code for applied microeconomics research. My comfort zone is Stata and Dropbox, but he's helped me learn to be effective in a terminal, which I would have never expected, and I'm starting to even use Claude Code to tackle bigger, structural projects which would have previously been infeasible for me. Aniket's really an expert at explaining the parts of agentic coding which are relevant for economists - I can't recommend him enough if you're looking to use these tools for social science.”
