Frontier Research

The economists at the New York Fed conduct cutting-edge research in the areas of macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance, both theoretical and empirical, regularly publishing in the most prestigious journals in the world. As a research analyst you will get invaluable experience in the research process, starting from how to formulate a meaningful economic question; then identify or even develop the tools to address it; going through the process of writing a paper (sometimes as a coauthor with an economist); and finally navigating the publication process. All this in addition to the expertise that you will develop in markets and questions that are key to the U.S. economy, and the technical knowledge that can be applied to any subareas within the economics discipline. 

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.
