Martin Bodenstein

I am an Assistant Director in the International Finance Division at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, DC. My work focuses on advancing and coordinating macroeconomic modeling efforts within the division to support policy analysis and the development of alternative scenarios for monetary policymaking. More broadly, I apply macroeconomic models to key policy questions, including monetary policy strategies, exchange rate dynamics, the transmission of shocks to the energy sector, and the economic effects of natural disasters.

Before rejoining the Federal Reserve in April 2016, I spent five years in Southeast Asia. I worked in the Economic Research and Development Department of the Asian Development Bank in Manila (April 2011 – November 2012) and later as an Associate Professor of Economics at the National University of Singapore (January 2013 – March 2016). My career at the Federal Reserve Board originally began in 2005.

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Konstanz in Germany. Since 2017, I have also served as a co-organizer of the CEBRA Workshop for Commodities and Macroeconomics.
