Our research focuses on far-reaching national and international economic topics and policy-oriented analysis, alongside local matters pertinent to the diverse and prominent Second District.
Our Focus
Our wide-ranging research is designed to inform policymaking, promote a well-functioning financial system, and ultimately assist in supporting U.S. economic stability.
Policy Focus
Here at the New York Fed, we have unique and critically important responsibilities within the Federal Reserve System. We implement monetary policy, supervise many of the largest financial institutions, manage foreign accounts, and operate critical parts of the nation's payments systems. As a research analyst, you will help our economists analyze and synthesize data that will shape policies in areas like:
- Economic inequality
- Household finances
- Economic response to COVID-19
Besides NYC being a global financial center, the Second District is also known for its significant manufacturing, tech, and services sectors. The states and territories in our district include New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
