Last month, Dr. Mark Hutson, a Senior Consultant at Summit, earned his Ph.D. in economics from the George Washington University. Dr. Hutson's dissertation is entitled “Topics in Macroeconomics and Electricity.”
Dr. Hutson has extensive experience in building, designing, and running economic forecasting models in private, public, and academic settings. He has consulted for government agencies, law firms, trade groups, think tanks, and academic researchers. Dr. Hutson has worked on numerous projects from initial theoretical origins to dynamically-updated forecasting models in a variety of fields, including the U.S. macroeconomy, electricity demand, oil production and pricing, solar energy, telecommunications, simultaneous industry-level manufacturing for multiple countries, oil production disruptions from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico (incorporating NOAA forecast), housing defaults, and multiple policy issues for banking. Dr. Hutson has also supported, designed, and instructed several college-level Economics courses.
