I am an adjunct in the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland, where I teach a course (ECON 401) called “Current Issues in American Economic Policy.” ECON 401 is a course for economics majors who have completed their intermediate theory classes. The course focuses on practical analysis of various issues ranging from macroeconomic policy to federal tax and transfer policy. I am also currently a Senior Economist in the Research Department at the Investment Company Institute (ICI) in Washington, DC, where I work on retirement and investor issues. ICI is a non-profit trade association that represents the U.S. mutual fund industry.

Between 2000 and 2007 I was Unit Chief for Long Term Modeling at the Congressional Budget Office in Washington, DC, where I managed a team of seven economists working on the CBO Long-Term (CBOLT) modeling project.  CBOLT is an integrated micro/macro policy simulation model; it uses dynamic microsimulation within an aggregate budgetary and macroeconomic framework to generate long-run projections and policy analysis for aging-related programs like Social Security and Medicare.
