About Me

Andrew Bossie
Brooklyn, New York, United States
I am a Senior Economist at the New York City Independent Budget Office. My academic research looks at the effect of fiscal and monetary policy. In particular, the effect of the policy shock of WWII on the US economy. Before starting at the NYC IBO I taught for over 15 years at various universities around New York City. I taught a wide variety of classes, but my specializations were Macroeconomics, US Economic History and Econometrics. andrewbossie.com for more info.
