CUMU–Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Fellow
Josie Gatti Schafer, Ph.D., was named the 2023 CUMU-Philadelphia Fed Research Fellow. During the fellowship, Dr. Schafer, director of the Center for Public Affairs Research, University of Nebraska at Omaha, leveraged the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s Anchor Economy Dashboard and U.S. Census Bureau data to explore and explain variations in the economic impact of higher education anchor institutions.
