Alice Rivlin

Alice Mitchell Rivlin (born March 4, 1931, in Philadelphia) is an economist, a former U.S. Cabinet official, and an expert on the budget. She is currently on the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange.

Rivlin is an alumna of the Madeira School, earned a B.A. at Bryn Mawr College in 1952 and earned a Ph.D. from Radcliffe College in 1958. She has been affiliated several times with the Brookings Institution, including stints in 1957–66, 1969–75, 1983–93, and 1999 to the present. She is currently a visiting professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute.

She was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson as Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare from 1968 to 1969. In 1971 she authored "Systematic Thinking for Social Action".

She was the first director of the newly established Congressional Budget Office during 1975–83, where she was a persistent and vociferous critic of Reaganomics as head of the CBO. In 1983, she won a MacArthur Foundation "genius" award.

Under President Bill Clinton she served as the deputy director of Office of Management and Budget from 1993 to 1994, director of OMB from 1994 to 1996 (becoming the first woman to hold the position), and a governor of the Federal Reserve from 1996 to 1999. She was also chair of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority from 1998 to 2001.

Rivlin is daughter of the physicist Allan C. G. Mitchell and granddaughter of the astronomer Samuel Alfred Mitchell.
