Macroeconomic Analysis Division
Telephone: (202) 226-2750
Fax: (202) 226-0332
The Macroeconomic Analysis Division combines three major responsibilities: economic forecasting, policy analysis, and financial analysis of federal programs. In its forecasting role, the division is responsible for preparing CBO's economic projections for periods up to 10 years. Those projections help the budget committees develop the concurrent resolution on the budget and serve as the economic assumptions underlying CBO's baseline projections of the budget. In its policy analysis role, the division examines the effects of fiscal policy on the economy using state-of-the-art macroeconomic models. In its financial role, the division studies the economic implications of the federal government's complex financial arrangements using the tools of modern financial analysis, and analyzes ways to report and manage the federal government's exposure to risk. The results of those studies and analyses, along with general information on macroeconomic issues, aim to inform the Congress in its decisionmaking and bolster the public's understanding. In analyzing the macroeconomic effects of a wide range of fiscal policies, the division works closely with CBO's other divisions.
Assistant Director for Macroeconomic Analysis
Robert A. Dennis has been with CBO since 1979. Before being named Assistant Director, he served as Deputy Assistant Director of the division. Previously, he was Manager of Macroeconomic Forecasting for Economic Models Ltd. in London and Director of National Economic Projections for the National Planning Association in Washington, D.C.
