Julia Coronado

Julia Coronado is founder and president of MacroPolicy Perspectives, an economic research consultancy serving institutional investors. She previously served as an economist at the Federal Reserve Board and as chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas. Coronado is known for her rigorous macro analysis with a particular focus on monetary policy, labor market dynamics, and the Federal Reserve's reaction function. She is a frequent contributor to major financial media and sits on the board of directors of the Penn Wharton Budget Model. Her institutional investor client base relies on her independent Fed analysis. She is also a founding member of the Women in Economics Policy Network and has been active in efforts to increase gender diversity in the economics profession. Her close monitoring of real-time and high-frequency economic indicators — including consumer spending data and employment surveys — has enabled her research to anticipate Federal Reserve policy shifts before they become consensus expectations among buy-side economists.
