  • WORKING PEOPLE STILL NEED a VOICE at the FED: 2018 Diversity Analysis of Federal Reserve Bank Directors
    DATA BRIEF WORKING PEOPLE STILL NEED A VOICE AT THE FED: 2018 Diversity Analysis of Federal Reserve Bank Directors FEBRUARY 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was researched and written by Maggie Corser. It was edited by Shawn Sebastian, Jordan Haedtler, and Emily Gordon at the Center for Popular Democracy. ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS Fed Up is a coalition of community organizations and labor unions across the country, calling on the Federal Reserve to reform its governance and adopt policies that build a strong economy for the American public. The Fed can keep interest rates low, give the economy a fair chance to recover, and prioritize genuine full employment and rising wages. www.ThePeoplesFed.org The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) works to create equity, opportunity and a dynamic democracy in partnership with high-impact base-building organizations, organizing alliances, and progressive unions. CPD strengthens our collective capacity to envision and win an innovative pro- worker, pro-immigrant, racial and economic justice agenda. www.populardemocracy.org Working People Still Need a Voice at the Fed: 2018 Diversity Analysis of Federal Reserve Bank Directors Data Brief This brief analyzes the gender, racial, and occupational diversity of the 2018 appointees to the twelve Federal Reserve Regional Bank Boards of Directors. The analysis finds that while the Federal Reserve has made modest progress in gender and racial diversity, Fed directors from business and banking continue to dominate leadership positions and fail to represent the interests of labor and consumers. Introduction In 2016 the Center for Popular Democracy’s Fed Up campaign published “To Represent the Public: The Federal Reserve’s Continued Failure to Represent the American People.”1 The report uncovered a shocking lack of gender, racial, and occupational diversity among the Presidents and Boards of Directors at the twelve Federal Reserve Regional Banks.

  • Strategies Monetary Policy
    STRATEGIES for MONETARY POLICY EDITED BY JOHN H. COCHRANE JOHN B. TAYLOR CHAPTER ONE Models, Markets, and Monetary Policy Richard H. Clarida The topic of this volume and the Monetary Policy Conference it originates from, Strategies for Monetary Policy, is especially timely. The Federal Reserve System is conducting a review of the strategy, tools, and communication practices we deploy to pursue our dual- mandate goals of maximum employment and price stability. In this review, we expect to benefit from the insights and perspectives that are presented here, as well as those offered at other conferences devoted to this topic, as we assess possible practical ways in which we might refine our existing monetary policy framework to better achieve our dual-mandate goals on a sustained basis. This essay is not, however, devoted to a broad review of the Fed’s monetary policy framework—that process is ongoing, and I would not want to prejudge the outcome—but it will instead focus on some of the important ways in which economic models and financial market signals help me think about conducting monetary policy in practice after a career of thinking about it in theory. THE ROLE OF MONETARY POLICY Let me set the scene with a very brief—and certainly selective— review of the evolution over the past several decades of professional The views expressed are my own and not necessarily those of other Federal Reserve Board members or Federal Open Market Committee participants. I would like to thank Ed Nelson and Bob Tetlow for their assistance in preparing this speech.

  • Why We Don't Expect Negative Rates in the US…
    Economic and Financial Analysis 11 June 2020 Why we don’t expect negative rates in the US… Article yet While President Trump likes the idea of negative interest rates, it's clear the bar is set relatively high for the Federal Reserve to adopt them. We are perhaps more likely to see sub-zero rates in Britain, but even here we think policymakers will be much more inclined to use quantitative easing for the time being Source: Shutterstock Content - The bar is set relatively high for negative rates in the US and UK - Powell is reluctant to head into negative territory - Negative rates could still come - but they're more likely in the UK than US The bar is set relatively high for negative rates in the US and UK While US equity markets have surged back to within touching distance of their all-time highs, interest rate markets are pricing a far less rosy outlook. Even after May’s surprisingly strong jobs report, implied yields suggest little prospect of a US rate hike any time soon, with a slight bias towards the Fed cutting rates within the next 12 months. It’s a similar story in the UK. The message from the Bank of England is that negative rates can’t be ruled out, and that’s helped push overnight index swaps (OIS) to price in negative rates. But while we shouldn’t rule anything out, we still think that the bar is set relatively high for policymakers to take interest rates below zero – particularly in the US. US President Trump clearly likes the idea – and the ‘gift’ of being paid to borrow may look attractive for a government expected to borrow more than USD 4 trillion this year – but Fed Chair Jerome Powell is clearly more cautious.

    The Outlook for Tomorrow: Five Numbers to Watch Thomas I. Barkin President, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond West Virginia Economic Outlook Conference Charleston, West Virginia October 3, 2018 Thank you for inviting me to speak with you this morning. Since I joined the Fed in January, I’ve been traveling throughout our district to talk with the people who live and work here. This is my first trip to Charleston, and my goal is to be interesting enough that you’ll invite me back! I came to Richmond after a 30-year career in consulting at McKinsey, where I served as chief financial officer, chief risk officer and led our offices in the Southeast. I’ve spent my professional life helping firms make decisions about hiring, compensation and prices, and I’ve made a lot of those decisions myself. My colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) are some of the most talented macroeconomists, bankers, academics and financial regulators in the country. But as the only committee member coming from management, I hope I can bring a different perspective. This morning, I’ll share some of that perspective with you. I’ll start with what I’m seeing in the economy today. But my real focus is the outlook for tomorrow, including some key indicators I’m watching. And then I’ll be glad to take your questions. Before I say more, the views I express are my own and not necessarily those of the FOMC or the Federal Reserve System.1 Today GDP Growth In the 1970s, economist Arthur Okun invented the Misery Index, the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates.

  • Regulators Vs Defi
    MORNING BRIEFING May 27, 2021 Tapering, Crypto & the Drought The next Morning Briefing will be on Tuesday, June 1. Check out the accompanying chart collection. (1) Clarida’s just the latest Fed head to talk about talking about tapering. (2) Treasury market takes tapering talk in stride. (3) What’s in Fed’s inflation tool kit? (4) Western drought forcing tough decisions on the farm. (5) Keeping an eye on fruit and veggie prices. (6) With strong FQ-2, Deere says farmers doing great and buying equipment. (7) Fed studies digital dollar, while crypto financial ecosystem flourishes. (8) China’s regulators cracking down on crypto trading and mining. (9) Lots of crypto banking services outside of the banking system. (10) DeFi even trickier for regulators to control. (11) Mark Cuban sees a future filled with smart contracts on the blockchain. The Fed I: Tiptoeing to Tapering. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Now we have four Fed officials talking about talking about tapering. In Tuesday’s Morning Briefing, Melissa and I observed that Dallas Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) President Robert Kaplan did so on April 30 and Philadelphia FRB President Patrick Harker did so on Friday, May 21. We can now add Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida to the list: He told Yahoo! Finance in a Tuesday, May 25, morning interview, “[T]here will come a time in upcoming meetings we’ll be at the point where we can begin to discuss scaling back the pace of asset purchases … I think it’s going to depend on the flow of data that we get.” Clarida’s comments were similar to those of FRB San Francisco President Mary Daly, who during a CNBC interview Tuesday afternoon said that the central bank’s policymakers are “talking about talking about tapering” its bond-buying program.

Do Enlarged Fiscal Deficits Cause Inflation: The Historical Record Michael D. Bordo and Mickey D. Levy NBER Working Paper No. 28195 December 2020 JEL No. E3,E62,N4 ABSTRACT In this paper we survey the historical record for over two centuries on the connection between expansionary fiscal policy and inflation. As a backdrop, we briefly lay out several theoretical approaches to the effects of fiscal deficits on inflation: the earlier Keynesian and monetarist approaches; and modern approaches incorporating expectations and forward looking behavior: unpleasant monetarist arithmetic and the fiscal theory of the price level.
