  • State of the bond market to monitor debt issuance, interest rate trends, and macroeconomic dynamics, among other indicators. 
  • Revenue and distributional effects of new and existing federal tax proposals. 
  • Micro- and macroeconomic effects of reforms aimed at expanding access to workplace retirement plans and improving plan structures.  
  • Assist BPC in technical discussions with relevant policy and technical experts (e.g., actuaries, financial market analysts, actuaries, physicians, econometricians).  

Qualifications 

  • Advanced degree (master's or PhD) in Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science, Business Analytics, Economics or a related quantitative field.  
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in economic modeling or fiscal policy analysis. 
  • Ability to translate technical findings into accessible formats for various external stakeholders and audiences. 
  • Fluency in statistical modelling and data visualization tools (e.g., SAS, Python, Stata, R) and experience working with large, complex federal data sets. 
  • Strong understanding of the federal budget and relevant micro- and macroeconomic indicators. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with commitment to bipartisan, evidence-based policymaking. 

BPC's Managing Director of Economic Policy will manage the consultant's contract. The contract ceiling is budgeted at up to $10,000 per month for six months, with the potential to extend the period of performance.
