The Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute has announced the appointment of Marianne Wanamaker to its advisory board.
Housed in the Research Division at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, the Institute conducts and promotes research that will increase economic opportunity and inclusive growth, and help the Federal Reserve achieve its maximum employment mandate.
Wanamaker is dean of University of Tennessee’s Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs and a professor of economics and public policy. Her expertise is in labor economics, education, and workforce development. Her recent scholarship looks at intergenerational mobility, labor market conditions, and health outcomes for different groups of Americans.
“It is a great privilege to welcome Marianne Wanamaker to the Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute’s advisory board,” said Institute Director Abigail Wozniak. “Our staff have consulted Marianne’s research many times over the last few years. She will be an incredible resource for Institute leadership, and her experience in economic policy and scholarly administration will mean we continue to have a deep bench of such expertise among our advisors.”
Since its inception in 2017, the Institute has developed into a critical resource for understanding how participants in our economy find opportunity and share in its growth.
“Our advisory board has been key to the Institute’s accomplishments,” said Minneapolis Fed Research Director Andrea Raffo. “They ensure that the Institute pursues challenging academic and public policy questions using the most rigorous and thoughtful cutting-edge approaches available.”
Wanamaker fills one opening on the board of 18 distinguished advisors committed to leading-edge scholarly research on economic opportunity and inclusion.
