The list of contracts also includes economist Andrew Wolfe, who worked on the famous “Krueger Report,” a document commissioned by the administration of former Gov. Alejandro García Padilla and which served to lay the foundations for the magnitude of the fiscal and economic crisis in Puerto Rico. The report called for a reduction of the island’s public debt and a host of austerity measures.
For the board, he worked from the end of last year until Feb. 28 in the review of the economic models and fiscal parameters established so far, a service for which he charged $25,000 a month.

Dr. Wolfe is currently an advisor to the government of Puerto Rico since retiring in June 2014 from the International Monetary Fund after 27 years, where he was a senior manager of the Western Hemisphere Department, leading negotiations on IMF supported programs and serving as an advisor to governments throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. He was previously on the faculty of Bowdoin College.
