Meet the Researchers

BEA economists and statisticians engage in cutting-edge research in challenging measurement areas, such as non-market production, valuation and depreciation of intangible assets and other assets, artificial intelligence, housing, health care, financial services, distribution of income, globalization, and prices. Research keeps BEA's economic statistics up to date, innovates how the U.S. economy is measured, and provides a path to the creation of new statistics.

BEA's researchers produce working papers and articles in peer-reviewed journals covering a range of topics and present their findings at professional meetings, conferences, and statistical forums. BEA encourages research staff to engage in independent research related to BEA statistics, including publication of their work in professional and academic journals.
