    Growing Economies in Indian Country: A National Summit May 1, 2012 Narayana Kocherlakota, President, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Introduced by Joseph Firschein, Deputy Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Joseph Firschein: My job is, is to do some welcome-- to welcome you to the Board of Governors to provide some context for how we got to this place and to help you understand sort of how we plan to use the day. David already told you a little bit about what the Community Development function does, so I'm not going, I'm not going to go into that. But, I will say that sometimes when we try to explain it to people there's nothing better than an event like this to really kind of make the picture kind of come, come whole. And so, we sometimes talk about three components of what we do. And, and really it just couldn't fit better into sort of the structure of today. We talk about convening stakeholders, conducting applied research and data analysis and identifying approaches that work. And as you'll hear throughout the day that's really what we're going to be doing. In terms of-- oh, the other thing I do want to say is even though we have a full room and quite a distinguished one, I want to welcome everybody who's watching on the web streaming. We've been doing this now for a little bit and we know it's not possible for everybody who would want to be at an event like this to physically come to Washington; particularly an event like this, where it's sometimes far as far as where the folks are that are doing this kind of work.

  • Temptation and Self-Control
    FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO WORKING PAPER SERIES Temptation and Self-Control: Some Evidence and Applications Kevin X.D. Huang, Vanderbilt University Zheng Liu, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco John Q. Zhu, Fudan University School of Management August 2013 Working Paper 2013-23 http://www.frbsf.org/publications/economics/papers/2013/wp2013-23.pdf The views in this paper are solely the responsibility of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. TEMPTATION AND SELF-CONTROL: SOME EVIDENCE AND APPLICATIONS KEVIN X.D. HUANG, ZHENG LIU, AND JOHN Q. ZHU Abstract. This paper studies the empirical relevance of temptation and self-control using household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. We construct an infinite- horizon consumption-savings model that allows, but does not require, temptation and self- control in preferences. In the presence of temptation, a wealth-consumption ratio, in ad- dition to consumption growth, becomes a determinant of the asset-pricing kernel, and the importance of this additional pricing factor depends on the strength of temptation. To identify the presence of temptation, we exploit an implication of the theory that a more tempted individual should be more likely to hold commitment assets such as IRA or 401(k) accounts. Our estimation provides empirical support for temptation preferences. Based on our estimates, we explore some quantitative implications of this class of preferences for capital accumulation in a neoclassical growth model and the welfare cost of the business cycle.

  • Narayana Kocherlakota: Reflections on Diversity
    Narayana Kocherlakota: Reflections on diversity Speech by Mr Narayana Kocherlakota, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, at the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans 2014 Asian Heritage Dinner, St. Paul, Minnesota, 9 May 2014. * * * Thanks to Dorothy Bridges, Duane Carter and David Fettig for their assistance with these remarks. I would like to thank state Senator Alice Johnson and Executive Director Sia Her for the invitation to attend the 2014 Asian Heritage Dinner. I am honored to participate in this prestigious event. My talk tonight will consist of some reflections on diversity. I’ll first talk about the regional diversity that lies at the heart of the Federal Reserve System. I’ll talk next about my journey to my current position and the role that international diversity played in that journey. Finally, I’ll close with some thoughts on the role of workplace diversity. My remarks represent my own views, which are not necessarily those of anyone else in the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve System: a regionally diverse central bank I’ll begin by telling you a few things about my organization, the Federal Reserve System. I will be highlighting the role of regional diversity in the Federal Reserve’s formulation of economic policy. Relative to other central banks around the world, the Federal Reserve System is highly decentralized. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis is one of 12 regional Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the Federal Reserve System. Our bank represents the ninth of the 12 Federal Reserve districts and includes Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

  • Three Essays on the Economics of Household Decision Making
    Three Essays on the Economics of Household Decision Making DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Vipul Bhatt, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Economics The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Pok-sang Lam, Adviser Masao Ogaki, Co-adviser David Blau Paul Evans c Copyright by Vipul Bhatt 2010 Abstract My research emphasizes the role of interrelated preferences in determining economic choices within a household. In this regard, I study both intergenerational interactions (between parents and children) and intragenerational interactions (between spouses). These linkages have important implications on individual economic behavior such as savings, labor supply, investment in human capital, and bequests which in turn affects aggregate savings and growth. Standard altruism models developed by Barro and Becker are based on an important assumption that parents and children have homogeneous discount factors, which precludes any role parents can play in influencing their child’s time preferences. However, there is empirical evidence that parents attempt to shape their children’s attitudes. The first essay of my dissertation, “Tough Love and Intergenerational Altru- ism” (based on this I also have a joint work with Masao Ogaki), proposes a framework to study the role of parents in shaping children’s time preferences. The tough love altruism model modifies the standard altruism model in two ways. First, the child’s discount factor is endogenously determined so that low consumption at young ages leads to a higher discount factor later in her life. Second, the parent evaluates the child’s lifetime utility with a constant high discount factor.
