The New Jersey Policy Institute (NJPI) named Dr. Christopher Young, an economist and Principal at Red Maple Economics Group, to its Board of Directors.
Young brings extensive experience in economic analysis, public policy research, and financial strategy, with a career spanning academia, consulting, and the private sector.
A part-time professor at Rutgers University, he was formerly a research fellow at the Institute for Ethical Leadership and led high-level economic consulting engagements through Red Maple Economics.
His expertise in economic policy, financial analysis, and evidence-based research will strengthen NJPI’s ability to advance thoughtful, data-driven solutions for New Jersey, according to a release.
At Red Maple Economics Group, Young leads work that provides independent, defensible economic analysis for legal matters, business valuation, and public policy decision-making. His work supports attorneys, business leaders, and policymakers facing complex, high-stakes issues where clarity and credibility are essential.
Young is also a nationally recognized expert in forensic economics and has testified in both state and federal courts on matters involving economic damage, valuation, and financial policy.
Young also continues to serve in the United States Army Reserves.
NJPI convenes New Jerseyans to ignite, incubate, and launch winning ideas for effective education, a strong economy, a thriving business environment, and affordable energy, according to a release.
In July, NJPI announced that George Boyan, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Unity Bank, has joined its Board of Directors.
