Nominal Thoughts is a personal blog/newsletter by Jason Harrison on Substack. According to the About page, the author is currently a Research Fellow at Stanford GSB, with research interests including economics, tax policy, and the characteristics, behavior, and incentives of multinational enterprises. This is not a traditional news site; it is closer to a personal commentary and thought journal, covering topics such as economics, Kierkegaard, music, and whatever else the author happens to be thinking about.
The site relies on Substack for basic reading and subscription features: readers can view the homepage, archives, and About page on the web, or subscribe to receive new posts by email. In terms of content focus, economics appears to be the main direction, but the author explicitly states that the newsletter will not be limited to a single field. Essays on philosophy, music, life observations, and other topics may also appear. Its value mainly comes from the author’s research background and public thinking process, rather than from data products, courses, or institutional reporting.
The crawled page only shows a Subscribe option, with no paid membership, tiered subscription, or pricing information visible. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that at least a free subscription model currently exists. Whether paid content will be introduced in the future cannot be confirmed from the available page information.
The main advantage is the author’s professional background; content related to economics and tax policy may offer a researcher’s perspective. Substack’s email distribution, archive, and mobile reading experience are also relatively mature. The downside is that the available information currently comes mainly from the About page, so it is not possible to assess the number of posts, update frequency, or long-term quality. The range of topics is also fairly broad, so readers looking only for rigorous economic analysis may encounter a good amount of personal writing. In addition, the entire site is in English, which may create a reading barrier for Chinese users.
It is suitable for English-speaking readers interested in economics, tax policy, multinational enterprise research, and public policy essays, as well as those who enjoy following the informal thoughts of scholars or researchers. It is not suitable for users looking for structured courses, investment advice, real-time news, or Chinese-language content services.
The site is based on Substack. Access to Substack from mainland China can be unstable: it may open in some network environments, while in others it may load slowly or be restricted. It is therefore rated as “partially restricted.” If the site cannot be accessed, a proxy network is usually required.
