North America Economist

At Capital Economics, we deliver independent macroeconomic and thematic insights through our real-time digital platform, challenging the status quo and partnering for our clients' success.

Our comprehensive coverage spans over 100 economies, and supports banks, financial and commodity markets and real estate sectors. By leveraging our bold insights, real-time and proprietary data services and analysis, clients receive differentiated value, and investors uncover profitable opportunities and identify risks that others miss.

We don't just repeat and report the consensus headlines; using our unique methodologies we challenge them. We provide each member of our community the critical edge needed to navigate complex financial landscapes and make informed, profitable investment decisions.

• Contributing to our views on the US and Canada economies and housing markets
