Trumps val sågas: ”Hade inte godkänts på Harvard”

Stephen Ira Miran (; MY-run; born June 1983) is an American economist who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since September 2025. He has also served as the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers since January 2025, though he placed himself on leave in September. Miran graduated from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in economics and philosophy and from Harvard University with a doctorate in economics in 2010. After graduating from Harvard, he worked for Lily Pond Capital Management as an analyst, later joining Fidelity Investments and Sovarnum Capital. Miran became the head of macroeconomic strategy at Sovarnum in 2015. In April 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he served as a senior advisor for economic strategy at the United States Department of the Treasury. After Joe Biden's inauguration in January 2021, Miran returned to the private sector, co-founding Amberwave Partners. Miran joined Hudson Bay Capital Management as a senior strategist in February 2024. In December 2024, President Donald Trump named Miran as his nominee for chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. He was confirmed by the United States Senate in March 2025. Miran developed the Trump administration's tariff policy, opining that import taxes are not inflationary. After Federal Reserve governor Adriana Kugler announced her resignation in August, Trump named Miran as his nominee to succeed Kugler. In September, he was confirmed by the Senate and sworn in that month.
