(updated January 2026)
In addition to my role as a faculty member at MIT, I am engaged in a number of outside activities. In the last three years, I have been:
(i) President of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a non-profit organization devoted to economic research (www.nber.org).
(ii) Trustee of the College Retirement Equity Fund (CREF).
(iii) Member of the Panel of Economic Advisers at the Congressional Budget Office (www.cbo.gov).
(iv) Member of the Aspen Institute Economic Study Group (https://www.economicstrategygroup.org/about/).
In addition to the activities listed above, I also periodically make presentations for which I receive compensation. During the period 2023-2025, I received more than $500 from each of the following organizations: ARC Global, the Congressional Budget Office, Dimensional Funds Advisers, Emory University, Tulane University, and the University of Wisconsin.
