Article Abstract:
The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), created in 1946, is a unique entity that survived for 50 years. This survival is attributed to four factors. The CEA keeps a modest staff of between 35 to 40, including 18-20 senior economists. It has a professional and an impartial staff who provides excellent analysis.

Article Abstract:
The role of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) has changed since its creation in 1946. The CEA was originally established to advise on the construction of policies for macroeconomic stability. Extensive growth in the role of the government in domestic policy over the last 50 years has shifted the role of CEA to enhancing the efficiency of resource allocation. This is attributed to the CEA's best representation of general public welfare.
