Donald Marron<\/strong>, who worked in the George W. Bush<\/strong> White House, will become the director of the Tax Policy Center<\/a>, an eight-year-old joint venture of the Urban Institute<\/strong> and Brookings Institution<\/strong> think tanks that produces widely used analysis of tax trends, data and policy options.<\/p>\n

Marron was a member of the Council of Economic Advisers<\/strong> in the closing years of the Bush administration, and earlier was deputy director (2005\u00962007) and acting director (2006) of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marron succeeds Rosanne Altshuler<\/strong>, who will be returning to Rutgers University<\/strong> after nearly two years with the Tax Policy Center. The center\u0092s leadership includes two co-directors, William Gale<\/strong> of Brookings and Eric Toder<\/strong> of the Urban Institute. Marron takes up his duties in mid-May.<\/p>\n

\u0093Understanding and helping address the nation\u0092s revenue problems require imaginative scholarship, crisp communication skills, and an insider\u0092s knowledge about how good public policy can be made. Donald brings that and much more to the Tax Policy Center,” said Robert Reischauer<\/strong>, president of the Urban Institute.<\/p>\n

Since leaving his White House post, Marron has been a visiting professor of public policy at Georgetown University<\/strong> and an economic consultant. He was a senior economic adviser and consultant to the Council of Economic Advisers (2007\u009608) and its chief economist (2004\u009605). He was on the staff of Congress\u0092s Joint Economic Committee from 2002 to 2004. He was an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago\u0092s Graduate School of Business from 1994 to 1998. He also blogs at http:\/\/dmarron.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marron holds a Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/strong>. His father is the former chief executive of Paine Webber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
