Cleveland Fed Names Pfajfar to Lead Center for Inflation Research
CLEVELAND – The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has appointed Damjan Pfajfar to lead the bank’s Center for Inflation Research. Pfajfar will oversee a team of economists who study inflation. He also will lead efforts to augment the inflation-related resources the center provides for researchers, policymakers and the public.
Pfajfar joins the bank from the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System, where he served 10 years in the monetary affairs and research and statistics divisions, most recently as group manager in the monetary studies section. His research focuses on inflation, macroeconomics, and monetary economics. He is published widely in top economics journals and has extensive research experience focused on inflation expectations.
Pfajfar holds a BS in economics from the University of Ljubljana, an MS in economics from the University of Warwick, and a PhD in economics from the University of Cambridge.
The Center for Inflation Research publishes research as well as several popular inflation indicators and surveys, such as daily inflation “nowcasting” estimates and the Survey of Firms’ Inflation Expectations (SoFIE). The center also provides educational resources on its Inflation 101 page and organizes inflation-related events, such as the Inflation: Drivers and Dynamics Conference being held at the Cleveland Fed Oct. 24-25.
