Biography
John Sabelhaus is an adjunct in the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland, where he teaches Current Issues in American Economic Policy (ECON 401) and Health Economics (ECON 465). His research is policy-oriented, focusing on issues in retirement, earnings, and health. John earned his PhD in economics from the University of Maryland in 1988.
John is also currently a Section Chief at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC, where he works on the Survey of Consumer Finances along with pension and retirement issues. Between 2000 and 2007 he was Unit Chief for Long Term Modeling at the Congressional Budget Office in Washington, DC, where he managed a team of seven economists developing the CBO Long-Term (CBOLT) policy simulation model. CBOLT is an integrated micro/macro model; it uses dynamic microsimulation within an aggregate budgetary and macroeconomic framework to generate long-run projections and policy analysis for aging-related programs like Social Security and Medicare.
