CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The MIT Sloan
School of Management recently announced the appointment of
Edward L. Golding as executive
director and senior lecturer at the MIT Golub Center for Finance
and Policy (GCFP). Golding, a former head of the Federal Housing
Administration, will help lead the GCFP in its mission to support
governments in their role as financial institutions and regulators
of the financial system.
"We face diverse challenges in a wide range of policy areas, and
I am confident that the Golub Center can help us meet these
challenges through thoughtful research and elevated and informed
dialogue. Edward Golding will play a
critical role in increasing the GCFP's ability to make a
significant impact on public policy," says MIT Sloan Dean David
Schmittlein.
MIT Sloan Prof. Deborah Lucas,
director of the GCFP, agrees. "Edward
Golding brings a unique mix of experience and perspectives
to the Golub Center. I look forward to working with him as we build
upon the Center's research and educational initiatives and leverage
the expertise of MIT's faculty and
staff to bring more attention to issues that affect financial
policy."
Golding says, "I am excited to join the Golub Center, whose
initiatives have done so much in advancing research that has
yielded valuable insights into government financial institutions,
regulation of financial markets, and the management of risk. I look
forward to supporting the work of MIT's
faculty, fellows, and staff as they continue to carry out their
work in these vital areas of policy, and to expanding the influence
of the Center in critical areas such as retirement savings, housing
finance, financial regulation, and government credit policy."
Prior to serving as the head of the Federal Housing
Administration from 2015-2017, Golding was a senior advisor in the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In that role, he
helped formulate policy on housing finance reform and the expansion
of funding for the Housing Trust Fund.
Golding was also an executive at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (Freddie Mac) from 1989-2012, where he headed model
development, strategy and investor relations and developed a
national reputation for visionary leadership in housing finance
policy.
Most recently, Golding served as a visiting fellow in the
Housing Finance Policy Center at the Urban Institute and as an
adjunct professor of finance at Columbia
Business School.
In addition, Golding has taught at the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania, the Woodrow
Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and the University of Florida. He earned an A.B. degree in
applied mathematics from Harvard
University in 1976 and a Ph.D. in economics from
Princeton University in 1982.
The mission of the Golub Center is to serve as a catalyst for
innovative, cross-disciplinary and non-partisan research and
educational initiatives that address the unique challenges facing
governments in their role as financial institutions and as
regulators of the financial system. The Center is building a
foundation that will support transformative improvements in the
development and execution of financial policy today and in the
decades to come. It leverages the Institute's reputation of
academic excellence and commitment to public service, and the
acumen of MIT Sloan. For more information on the GCFP, please
