About Me
I am U.S. Economics Editor of The Economist, based in Washington, D.C. I write about monetary, fiscal and regulatory policy, the economic outlook, and economic trends. From 1996 to 2008 I was with The Wall Street Journal, most recently as Chief Economics Correspondent, where I covered the Federal Reserve, financial markets and the macroeconomy. I joined The Economist in July, 2008. My work appears each week in the magazine, usually in the United States or Finance & Economics sections, and on The Economist’s web site, economist.com. It also appears on the The Economist’s economics blog, Free Exchange. I am a regular commentator on radio and television (including PBS, CNBC and the BBC). I am also available for speeches. You can reach me by emailing gregip (at) economist.com.
Greg,
I’ve been a fan of your work for a long time. Well, basically since my monetary theory and policy class. I used and article you’d written in the Wall Street Journal to “confuse” my professor. (I thought I was so smart…thanks to you!)
Either way, the point of this email is to ask you start publishing updates on twitter. It’s a great way for your young fans to follow you. I’d love to hear about your thoughts in 140 characters or less, or, if more lengthy I’d love to get a link. Pictures are welcome as well.
Think about it.
If you’re already there. I searched, but couldn’t find you.
Sincerely,
A big fan!
Claire
