Panels of Advisers

CBO has a panel of economic advisers consisting of widely recognized experts. Their areas of expertise include macroeconomics and forecasting, international economics, public finance, labor economics, and financial markets. They have experience working in the private sector, the executive branch, the Federal Reserve System, and academia. Members of this panel generally serve two-year terms and are sometimes reappointed. The agency hosts periodic meetings of the advisers and solicits their views between meetings. Through those interactions, CBO benefits from the advisers' understanding of cutting-edge research and their reviews of the agency's economic forecasts. As a result, the quality of CBO's analysis of the economy is greatly enhanced.
