Dr. Rivlin is a visiting professor at the Public Policy Institute of Georgetown University and a senior fellow in the Economic Studies program at the Brookings Institution, where she directs the Greater Washington Research program. Before returning to Brookings, she served as vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board.
