UGA professor is state’s new Fiscal Economist

A professor in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is named by Governor Brian Kemp as the state’s Fiscal Economist: the Governor says Jeffrey Dorfman will develop forecasts based on Georgia's tax revenue, work with bond rating agencies on revenue and economic trends, and manage the development of fiscal impact estimates on tax-related legislative proposals.

"Given Jeffrey Dorfman's extensive background and expertise in economics, I am confident that he is the right choice to serve as the State Fiscal Economist. Over the years, Jeffrey has earned a stellar reputation in his field, mentored countless students to ensure their academic success, and provided critical insight to leaders in the private and public sectors," stated Governor Kemp.

"I am excited to serve in this new role, and I look forward to providing the State of Georgia and Governor Kemp's administration the most accurate and timely economic input that I can," stated Jeffrey Dorfman.
