Top Tech Policy Economist Advising Obama
Washington, D.C. think tank veteran Scott Wallsten is working on President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team but not on technology or telecommunications policy issues -- his well known areas of expertise. Wallsten is on the agency review team examining the National Credit Union Administration, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, and the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board. Wallsten’s past research has focused on telecom, regulation, competition, and technology policy and he is currently vice president for research and a senior fellow at the Technology Policy Institute. He is also a senior fellow at the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy, a lecturer in Public Policy at Stanford University, and a special consultant for Economists Incorporated. He holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University. He previously worked for the Progress & Freedom Foundation and was a senior fellow at the AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies. -- Winter Casey
