David Cashin

Welcome! I am a Principal Economist in the Fiscal Analysis section at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C (currently on leave at the OECD, where I cover the U.S. and Australian economies).  My research focuses primarily on estimating the impact of tax policy changes on household spending, and using these estimates to derive the underlying structural preference parameters that characterize overall household consumption behavior.  My other areas of research interest are U.S. fiscal policy and aggregate demand growth, the market for Treasury securities, and crowdsourced forecasting.
