** The opportunity*
* The EY Quantitative Economics and Statistics (QUEST) practice is an interdisciplinary team that brings together more than 50 economists, statisticians, and business analysts, many with deep industry and government experience. A number of our team members have held positions with the US Treasury Department, President's Council of Economic Advisers, Congressional Budget Office, Joint Committee on Taxation, Internal Revenue Service, US Census Bureau, Energy Department, academic institutions and research organizations, state and local governments and multi-lateral organizations - and 70% of QUEST professionals hold advanced degrees in their respective fields.

Our team has developed proprietary tools and data-driven approaches based on a deep understanding of economic and tax data from a wide range of sources. This understanding of how each data point is defined and estimated means we avoid common data pitfalls and produce results that preserve the quantitative meaning of the data. We model economic impacts, legislative changes, regulatory impacts, tax policy, climate policy, and conduct surveys.

EY's QUEST practice is seeking an economist to join our team of economists and statisticians as a senior analyst.  The preferred office location would be Washington, D.C., however, for exceptional candidates' alternative office locations may be possible.
