Meet the Economists

Economists advise Federal Reserve decision-makers on monetary policy and financial markets. They conduct innovative research to further the understanding of monetary policy, the national and regional economy, markets, and supervisory policy.

Economists typically are part of the Bank's Research Department (including the Center for Behavioral Economics, the Consumer Payments Research Center, and the New England Public Policy Center) as well as the Risk and Policy Analysis Unit of the Bank's Supervision, Regulation, and Credit Department.
