Fisher chair at the Urban Institute. Between 1987 and 1989, Gene served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Tax Analysis (1987–89). This is our government's highest fiscal position.

He has served as President of the National Tax Association (2001–02), is Co-Director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, was Chair of Social Security's 1999 Technical, and chaired a 2015–16 National Academy of Sciences Committee study on investing in children. Gene is also one of the key architects of the historic 1986 Tax Reform Act.
