Panel of Economic Advisers

Composed of some of CBO's previous directors and eminent economists who serve two-year terms, CBO's panel of advisers meets twice a year. The panel reviews and comments on CBO's preliminary forecasts of the economy and provides advice to further the reliability, professional quality, and transparency of CBO's work. In addition, the agency has a Panel of Health Advisers.
