Jeff Guilfoyle

After a six-year hiatus, Jeff has boomeranged back to PSC to use his economic insight and public policy acumen to effect positive change in people’s lives. A quintessential PSCer, Jeff has a broad range of interests and areas of expertise. He’s a competitive chess player, an insatiable reader, and a financial whiz who can talk eloquently about almost any policy issue facing the state. From tax policy to school finance to economic development, he is passionate about the policies that help move Michigan forward.

Jeff is that rare economist who can make complex economic topics accessible to laypeople, budget directors, and everyone in between. His work at PSC includes quantifying the University Research Corridor’s economic contributions to Detroit, developing recommendations for improving Michigan’s K–12 education system, and analyzing the oil and gas industry’s impact on Michigan’s economy. Regardless of the topic, he enjoys helping clients develop options to address difficult public policy problems.

Most recently before returning to PSC, Jeff served as chief deputy treasurer for the Michigan Department of Treasury. Prior to his first go-round, he worked as director of the Office of Revenue and Tax Analysis in the Michigan Department of Treasury where he developed special expertise in state and local revenue structure and the state’s economy and budget. He also served as president of the Citizens Research Council of Michigan.
