Miller, associate professor of economics at DePaul University in Chicago; and Caroline Harris, chief tax counsel and executive director of tax policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C.

“I was particularly impressed by the last Economic Forecast. While sobering, it was particularly timely and insightful. Of all the great Chamber events, the Economic Forecast is certainly the most valuable.”
