Council of Economic Advisors

Google “Council of Economic Advisers Economic Report of the President [year]” for every year back to 1980. Go to Appendix A, and see whether or not there is a innovation/entrepreneurship expert working that year. Give their name, their area of expertise, and the total number of economists working at the CEA at that time. (Don’t worry about research assistants or administrative positions) Then give the CEA a “grade” for that year. A for Entrepreneurship/Innovation, B for IO or Small Business, C for other peripheral activities, F if there are no related experts that year.

the total number of CEA economists was determined by adding the total number of senior staff economists listed in the economic report and adding the members (usually two) and the chairman together.
