Glenn Hubbard has resigned from his role as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Hubbard, who played a key role in president Bush's tax-cutting programme, is expected to return to Columbia University where, until joining Bush's government in 2001, he was a professor of economics. Bush intends to nominate Nicholas Gregory Mankiw, an economics professor at Harvard University, to replace him.
