Research

The Research department covers monetary policy, macroeconomics, financial institutions and markets, payments systems, national and regional economic conditions, and supporting functions. Our Research staff provides direct input to policymakers about policy issues for the Richmond Fed’s president and board of directors, as well as others in our Bank and the broader Federal Reserve System.

“Our work environment feels small enough to give everyone a sense of belonging but is large enough to feel that we are contributing to something bigger. I take pride in the work that the Fed does for the nation’s economy. It’s wonderful to help ensure that monetary policymakers have the best information possible when making decisions, and that our District is represented at the national level.”

— Roisin, Associate Regional Economist
