Sloan Prof Appointed to Financial Research Advisory Committee
MIT Sloan professor Simon Johnson was appointed as one of 11 new members of the Financial Research Advisory Committee of the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial Research. The Financial Research Advisory Committee provides advice and recommendations to the Office of Financial Research on matters related to financial stability.
“The OFR has a very important task ahead of it. Financial stability is a goal that is broadly shared, but people differ on how best to achieve it and how much progress we’ve made since the financial crisis,“ said Johnson. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve on this committee and help tackle this issue.”
“I’ve worked on financial stability issues throughout my academic career as well as in work with the private sector,” he said. “I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge and experience to support the OFR.”
Johnson is the Ronald A. Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan and a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, D.C.
