Da Costa, former Fed reporter, joins Peterson Institute

Pedro da CostaPedro da CostaPedro da Costa is joining the Peterson Institute for International Economics as an editorial fellow.

Da Costa covered the Federal Reserve Board for Reuters and The Wall Street Journal.

In 2010, he was a coauthor of the article “Club Fed: Ties That Bind at the Federal Reserve,” which helped spur the Fed to adopt a more open communications policy. His reporting in 2010 on the failure of some academic economists to disclose financial ties contributed to a new code of conduct adopted by the American Economics Association.

“Pedro’s work at Reuters and the Wall Street Journal showcased his excellent explanatory powers for economics as well as his commitment to understanding of, and integrity in, policy analysis,” said Adam S. Posen, president of the Institute, in a statement.

Da Costa grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Boston, Massachusetts. He earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in sociology from the University of Chicago and a master’s in international affairs from the University of California.
