We also conduct public outreach and share data analysis with stakeholders System-wide and worldwide. We have the highest standards for our research, and we strive to recruit and retain top talent.
Our economists typically hold a Ph.D. in economics or finance from a U.S. university; many also have an international background. We hire some of our economists straight from top graduate programs. Others are former faculty (often tenured) at top schools.
