All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. “Uneasy politician” Yellen likely to be replaced Executive Summary President Trump will have the opportunity to reshape the leadership of the U.S. Federal Reserve by naming a new chair and appointing several members to the central bank’s governing board. A key takeaway: The departure of Governor Daniel Tarullo will allow the president to name a vice chairman for supervision, the official in charge of bank regulation at the Fed. Full Article Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen discusses the central bank’s decision to raise its benchmark interest rate at a news conference in March. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) The Federal Reserve is bracing for a significant transformation of its top brass over the next few years. The biggest change will be at the helm: the likely replacement of Janet Yellen as Fed chair. President Trump has indicated that he will name someone else to fill the job when Yellen’s term expires next February. “She is not a Republican. When her time is up, I would most likely replace her because of the fact that I think it would be appropriate,” he said in May 2016, during the campaign. 1 Ending Yellen’s tenure after just one term would be a departure from how the White House has operated in recent decades: President Barack Obama reappointed Ben S.

BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO: WHY AMERICAN BANKS REMAIN TOO BIG TO FAIL Abstract: The 2008 Financial Crisis pushed the American economy to the brink of disaster. Fearing Great Depression-like consequences, the federal government bailed out several banks deemed “too big to fail.” During the ensuing period of reform there were frequent calls to assure that taxpayers would never again be on the hook to save an institution because of the risk its size posed to the nation’s economic health. The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 promised to end this “too big to fail” phenomenon and increased regulatory requirements for banks.

  • Pre-Inaugural Nominee Announcements: Trump-Clinton
    PRE-INAUGURAL NOMINEE ANNOUNCEMENTS: TRUMP-CLINTON Melanie Geller Drew Flanagan ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT The last four presidents announced 115 nominees for Senate-confirmed positions prior to taking office. Among these, 71, including 49 out of 56 Cabinet nominees, received pre-inauguration hearings.1 Only eight nominations by four presidents were withdrawn. This document contains tables listing each announcement sorted by president, along with key dates and speed of confirmation for each nominee. Secretaries of the 15 Cabinet departments are denoted in boldface. Preceding each table is a supplementary narrative discussing events and influences that affected each transition team and their pre- inaugural nominations. Summary • The Trump transition team announced 29 nominees during the transition period from election to inauguration, and the Senate confirmed 26. Fifteen nominees received pre-inaugural hearings. For a variety of reasons, including vetting, paperwork, controversy and a high number of procedural votes, the Trump nominees took much longer than the nominees of other presidents. The Senate confirmed Trump’s Cabinet secretaries in 23.9 days, on average. • The Obama transition team announced 42 nominees, including Secretary of Defense Gates, who stayed on from the George W. Bush administration. Twenty-five received pre-inaugural hearings. Obama’s Cabinet secretaries were confirmed in an average of 4.9 days. • Even with a truncated transition, the George W. Bush transition team announced 20 nominees during the transition, including Director of the CIA George Tenet, who remained in his position. Fourteen received pre-inaugural hearings. The Senate confirmed all except for one in about 3 days and confirmed Cabinet secretaries in 1.6 days, on average.

  • A Conversation with Duncan Kennedy
    Law on the Left: a Conversation with Duncan Kennedy Tor Krever, Carl Lisberger and Max Utzschneider* Did you grow up in a political family? I was born in 1942. I come from an upper-middle class, but not wealthy, family described by my mother as ‘impoverished gentry’. My father was an architect—not a firm architect; he was in business for himself—and my mother worked in a publishing house as a reader. That was her day job; she was also a poet and a painter. They were both cultivated Stevenson Democrats,1 both young and in their twenties during the New Deal and strongly committed to the idea of an anti-Communist model of progressive politics with a strong sense that class and poverty and race were the fundamental political issues. My political experiences began with these Stevenson-style Democratic commitments at home. I went to a progressive elementary school in Cambridge, Massachusetts and my first moments of political rebellion were rebellions against the various authoritarian undercurrents of this ultra-progressive participatory environment. This is important, as my whole political life has been much more organised against liberalism than against conservatism. I still see mainstream American liberalism, even in its decline, as only sporadically a positive political force and more often as deeply problematic. You also went to high school in Cambridge? No. In 1957, my parents sent me to Phillips Academy, Andover. I was a scholarship kid and I was also a nerd. To have a scholarship had important radicalising potential in the world of 1950s America. There was a real difference between the kids whose parents could afford an elite education and the kids whose parents could not afford it, but got in anyway.

  • Trust but Verify: Domestic Politics and International Coordination in U.S. Post-Crisis Financial Regulatory Policy
    TRUST BUT VERIFY: DOMESTIC POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION IN U.S. POST-CRISIS FINANCIAL REGULATORY POLICY NICHOLAS KEAN TABOR* ABSTRACT After the 2008 financial crisis, reforms to financial regulation in the United States developed with an apparent contradiction at their core: While those reforms embraced cooperative international measures, they simultaneously imposed more stringent safeguards on foreign banks opening on American soil. In short, they both ceded and guarded domestic control over U.S. financial regulatory policy. This Comment examines that contradiction from 2008 to 2010, including through Basel III negotiations and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and attempts to explain the contradiction using an extended rational institutionalist account of international policy development. The domestic actors responsible for U.S. foreign financial policy held distinct preferences for financial reform; when one actor exerted greater control over an institutional locus of the reform process, that actor’s preferences * JD/MBA, 2018, The Wharton School/University of Pennsylvania Law School.

We focus on new financial stability committees (FSCs) that have grown dramatically in number since the global financial crisis, and their interaction with central banks, and infer countries’ revealed preferences for effectiveness versus political economy considerations. Using cluster analysis, we find that only one-quarter of FSCs have both good processes and good tools to implement macroprudential actions, and that instead most FSCs have been designed to improve communication and coordination among existing regulators.
