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, labor, and behavioral economics.

My current work focuses on understanding how policy and institutional factors shape child and family outcomes, with particular attention to private adoption and child welfare systems in historical and contemporary contexts.
