Our research economists provide forecasts, analysis, research, and informed perspectives to our Bank president and Board of Directors to support them in their deliberations on the nation’s monetary policymaking.

We conduct rigorous academic research to enrich our understanding of the regional, national, and international economies and to contribute to the set of analytic tools and perspectives that inform our policy work.

We monitor the region’s economy in real time and exchange ideas with local business and labor leaders, governments, organizations, and consumers and contribute to policy discussions with New England legislators and their staffs.
