The Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) is a non-partisan, research-based initiative that provides accurate and transparent economic analysis of public policy. As the honest broker operating at the intersection of public policy and innovative micro- and macroeconomics modeling, PWBM does not make policy recommendations. PWBM's work is widely cited and has been influential in many key recent policy discussions, including tax reform, infrastructure, college debt, federal debt, immigration, pre-K education, paid family leave, universal basic income, Social Security, health care and many other areas. The PWBM team consists of roughly 30 PhD economists, policy analysts, research analysts and software engineers. PWBM has a staff opening for a new or experienced economist with a strong interest in conducting applied research, modeling, and analysis. We seek candidates with a strong interest in public policy and backgrounds in a range of areas including applied microeconomics (such as public and labor economics) and macroeconomics (such as OLG modeling and international macroeconomics). PWBM economists apply their training and skills to assess the effects of policy on household and business, budgetary outcomes (government revenues and costs) and various economic variables. Staff economists are encouraged to publish their research findings in professional journals. A PhD in economics or statistics is required.
