Now through the Vermont Statewide Housing Conference, Nov. 18, we’re spotlighting speakers planning to participate in the day’s bevy of workshops. Next up: Jeff Carr, President/Economist, Economic & Policy Resources Inc., Williston.

For the past 22 years Jeff's served in a number of capacities focusing on macro-economic analysis, economic forecasting, forensic economics, economic impact analysis, and fiscal policy analysis for federal, state, and local governments.

For the past 13 years, he's served as the State Economist and Principal Revenues Analyst for the Vermont Agency of Administration over the past three gubernatorial administrations, including the administrations of Govs. James H. Douglas, Howard B. Dean, and the late Richard A. Snelling.

He's also served as consulting economist to the Vermont Department of Economic Development since 1995, and a number of businesses, business-trade associations, and municipalities throughout the northern New England region.

Prior to that, Jeff served as Legislative Director and Economist for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1987-89) in Washington D.C.; served for more than four years in the Governor's Office during the first administration of Richard A. Snelling (1980-84); served as Director of Research for a national education organization specializing in federal fiscal policy analysis (1984-85); and was the Research Director for a United States Senate campaign (1985-87).

He's been the Econometric Model Manager and Vermont Forecaster for the New England Economic Project for the past 13 years (and 17 of the past 23 years), and taught economics in the Graduate School at St. Michael's College in Winooski in the mid-1980s.

Jeff's been the keynote speaker at numerous conferences and has written extensively on the subject of Vermont economic and fiscal policy.

Jeff is presenting as part of the "What Lies Ahead for Vermont's Housing Economy" panel, one of the most popular panels, according to registration data.
