ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Dr.
Richard
Deitz, regional economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a
1989 graduate of the SUNY College at Oneonta, is a member of the Council of
Economic Advisors convened by Governor David Paterson last week to review
the current state budget and to provide the Governor with additional
recommendations to address the state's fiscal crisis.
The 18-member council also includes Robert Rubin, former United States
Secretary of the Treasury and current Chairman of the Executive Committee of
Citi; Roger Altman, former United States Deputy Treasury Secretary and
current Chairman and CEO of Evercore Partners; and Joseph Stiglitz, 2001
Nobel Prize Winner.
Dr. Deitz, who earned his degree in economics from SUNY Oneonta and went
on to earn a doctorate in the field at SUNY Binghamton, taught economics at
the Rochester Institute of Technology and Saint Lawrence University before
joining the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Buffalo in 1998. In his
current position, he conducts research and economic analysis on emerging
regional issues in upstate New York and leads the development of the Empire
State Manufacturing Survey. His research interests include household and
firm location and regional labor market dynamics.
Dr. Deitz is the author of a number of articles on economics, including
"Baby-Boom Retirements and Emerging Labor Market Pressures," which appeared
in "Upstate New York Regional Review," and "Tourism's Role in the Upstate
New York Economy," which appeared in "The Regional Economy of Upstate New
York."
Dr. Deitz has returned to SUNY Oneonta a number of times, most recently
in April 2008, to speak with students and faculty and to discuss the
national and state economic outlook.
