Furman's research and policy focus includes the subjects of taxes, health care, macroeconomic policy, competition and inequality, technology policy, and the U.S. Social Security program. Professor Furman teaches at the Harvard Kennedy School.[5] Starting Fall 2019, he teaches Ec 10, the year-long introductory economics class at Harvard, together with David Laibson.[6] Early life and educationBorn and raised in New York City, Furman is the son of Jay Furman, a real-estate and shopping mall developer, and Gail (née Gorman) Furman, a child psychologist. Furman's brother, Jesse Furman is a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.[7] Furman graduated from the Dalton School in 1988. In 1992, he graduated with a B.A. in social studies from Harvard, where his freshman year roommate was Matt Damon. He then received an M.Sc. from the London School of Economics. Furman returned to Harvard, where he received an M.A. in government in 1995 and a Ph.D. in economics in 2004.[8] His Ph.D. thesis advisor was N. Gregory Mankiw, who had once also served as chairman of the CEA, during the administration of George W. Bush. Early careerIn 1996, while he was a graduate student at Harvard Department of Economics, Furman was hired by economist Joseph Stiglitz to serve a one-year stint as a staff economist for the Council of Economic Advisers. He later worked with Stiglitz at the World Bank before joining the National Economic Council as a Special Assistant to the President during the Clinton Administration.[9] Furman was involved to varying degrees with the Presidential campaigns of Al Gore and Wesley Clark, along with his wife, Eve Gerber, who also contributed as a speechwriter for Clark.[10] In 2004, he took a position as Director of Economic Policy for the 2004 Kerry presidential campaign. At the outset of the election, Furman joined the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) where he was credited with helping defeat the privatization of Social Security proposed by the George W. Bush administration.[11][12] He was a Visiting Scholar at New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and taught as a visiting lecturer at Columbia and Yale Universities.[13] From 2006 to 2008, Furman was a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and Director of the Hamilton Project, an economic policy research group that develops policy proposals to achieve shared economic growth founded by former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. During his tenure there, Furman published papers on a range of topics, including tax treatment of healthcare, and edited two published volumes.[14][15] Obama administrationIn 2008, Furman joined Barack Obama's Presidential campaign as the Economic Policy Director.[16] Initially, Furman's appointment as a campaign adviser had been criticized by some labor activists for his qualified defense of Wal-Mart's business model.[17] During Obama's first term, Furman served as a Deputy Director at the White House National Economic Council to Lawrence Summers and to Gene B. Sperling. In this role, he was one of the architects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, including identify stimulus-spending initiatives to benefit the poor as well as business tax incentives.[18] Furman is also credited with helping to create the administration's corporate tax-overhaul plan, influencing fiscal policy negotiations, and for helping to design and negotiate the Affordable Care Act.[19] On June 10, 2013, Furman was named Chairman of the three-member Council of Economic Advisers by President Obama. Obama referred to Furman as "one of the most brilliant economic minds of his generation," and went on to say "There's no one I'd rather turn to for straightforward, unvarnished advice that helps me to do my job." His appointment to the role was met with bipartisan support.[20] During his tenure as chairman, Furman played a role in advancing economic debates and public policies around tax reform, competition,[21] artificial intelligence and innovation,[22] and investment issues.[23] Personal lifeFurman and his wife Eve (née Gerber)[24] live in Massachusetts with their three children.
