More Information
The Associate Economist program is a 2-to-3-year role offering a strong platform for graduate studies, specifically in well-regarded doctorate programs in economics.
The Economic Research Department conducts policy-relevant research in macroeconomics, microeconomics, financial studies, and regional economic issues.
The department has a collegial and intellectually stimulating environment.
Team members collaborate to serve the public good, challenging and supporting one another on their assumptions, thinking, and conclusions.
Many AEs pursue graduate degrees in law or business or go on to positions in banking or consulting. Others choose to move to a different role at the Chicago Fed. Recent AEs have attended top graduate programs at universities such as the University of Chicago, Harvard, Yale, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern, Stanford, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan.
AEs co-author economic articles and publications with senior economists. In recent years, two Chicago Fed AEs have been awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship.
