I am the Director of the Surveys of Consumers, tracking leading economic indicators including consumer sentiment and expectations, and a Research Associate Professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. My research is primarily in the fields of household finance, labor economics, public economics, and survey methods, with a current focus on financial sophistication and cognition, and consumer experiences with debt. I previously served as a Principal Economist in the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, where my policy portfolio included the Survey of Consumer of Finances and the consumption forecast, as well as a visiting professor at the Department of Economics, Howard University. I completed my PhD in economics at the University of Michigan and my AB in economics and international relations at Brown University.
