Benjamin H. Harris is an American economist who is currently the Vice President and Director of the Economic Studies program at the Brookings Institution.[1][2] Throughout his career, he has served in several public-service positions, most notably as the chief economist and chief economic advisor to Vice President Joe Biden from 2014 until the end of the Obama administration, and as Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy and Chief Economist of the U.S. Treasury. Harris was the executive director of the Kellogg Public-Private Initiative at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University,[3] the Chief Economist to the evidence-based policy organization Results for America,[4] and the founder of the economic policy consulting firm Cherrydale Strategies.[5] He has been a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal[6] and regularly appears on cable television to discuss macroeconomics[7] and public policy.[8]
Harris remained a close adviser to Joe Biden following the end of the Obama administration, serving as the chief editor of the Biden Forum [9][2] and as the economic adviser to the former vice president throughout his 2020 presidential campaign.[10][11][12] In a feature article, the New York Times dubbed him the “Quiet Architect of Biden’s Plan to Rescue the Economy.”[13]
