Oregon Economic Outlook
Join us for a luncheon of Oregon economic conditions by Carl Ricadonna, Oregon State Economist.
Carl Riccadonna is the State of Oregon Chief Economist and Head of the Office of Economic Analysis. He has served various Chief Economist capacities on a global scale for over two decades, including at Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg L.P. and BNP Paribas. Carl received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) from Princeton University, where he studied Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, finance and economics.
The teams Carl has led have been highly ranked among economic forecasters in a broad array of categories including monetary policy, labor market dynamics and inflation. Carl takes pride in distilling complex economic analysis into an engaging message for non-economists.
An avid gardener, soccer fan and father of three, Carl is thrilled to have transitioned to the public sector and to have relocated to the Pacific Northwest from the New York City area.
The state chief economist oversees the Office of Economic Analysis within the Department of Administrative Services and provides objective forecasts of the state’s economy, revenue, populations, corrections population and Youth Authority population. These forecasts are used across state government, and by the public for a variety of reasons, notably to inform the state budgeting process.
