The Council of Economic Advisers and Policymaking
Keith Hennessey has an excellent discussion from 2010 of the organization of the economic policy team inside the White House.
I think I can instead add a little value by describing the different positions that make up the President’s economic team, and in particular by explaining the roles of the heads of the National Economic Council and the Council of Economic Advisers. The NEC is run by Dr. Larry Summers, while Dr. Romer is the outgoing CEA Chair.
