Starting in 2012, he produced a series of videos on economics and statistics for the Institute for Humane Studies, the Foundation for Economic Education, and Certell.[12] [13] In 2015, he worked as associate producer for the Moving Picture Institute on their video series, FI$H: How An Economy Grows.[14] Davies is a long-time faculty member at the Institute for Humane Studies and the Foundation for Economic Education.[15]
