Walter Heller Eulogy, June 26, 1987 I FIRST MET WALTER WHEN HE ZOOMED ONTO THE NATIONAL SCENE AS THE CHAIRMAN OF KENNEDY'S COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS. WHAT HEADY DAYS! A NEW CAMELOT PRESIDENT; HUMPHREY ~ HIGH TIDE, AND TO TOP IT OFF, OUR WALTER HELLER AT THE CENTER OF ECONOMIC POLICY. THE WORLD WAS OURS! WALTER DI DN'T LE'r US DOWN . HE i1AY HAVE BEEN 'EHE MOST INFLUENTIAL OF ALL THE CHAIRMAN IN THE COUNCIL'S HISTORY . KENNEDY LOVED HIM, SO DID THE CONGRESS AND EVEN THE PRESS LIKED HIM. WHAT'S MORE, -- GLORIES BEHOLD! -- WE COULD EVEN UNDERSTAND HIM! ~f!J ~~D __--- EQ-~OMIS~ AS A NEW SENATOR, I LIVED IN REFLECTED GLORY. WALTER WAS BEFORE THE CONGRESS ALL OF THE TIME. HE BRIEFED EVERY PRESIDENT AND APPEARED ENDLESSLY ON THE NATIONAL NEWS. HE WAS BRILLANT. HE COULD MAKE THE COMPLEX SEEM SIMPLE AND MAKE THE SIMPLE FEEL COMPLEX. HE PREACHED A HEADY GOSPEL: A WISE PEOPLE COULD SHAPE A HEALTHY GROWING ECONOMY. WE WERE NOT DOOMED TO SUFFER GYRATIONS , STAGNATION AND MISERY. I KNOW NOW, MORE THAN I UNDERSTOOD AT FIRST, WHY I SO ADMIRED HIM. I DID SO BECAUSE WALTER ALWAYS CARED. ECONOMICS, AS TAUGHT BY WALTER WAS NEVER THE "DISMAL SCIENCE"; ECONOMICS WAS NOT AN ABST RACT Ion : IT HAD A PURPOSE, TO HELP PEOPLE, TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITY- TO ENLARGE JUSTICE; AND TO CARE FOR I THE VULNERABLE.

  • The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve During the 1960S
    The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s by Juan Acosta and Beatrice Cherrier CHOPE Working Paper No. 2019-04 January 2019 The transformation of economic analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s Juan Acosta (Université de Lille) and Beatrice Cherrier (CNRS-THEMA, University of Cergy Pontoise) November 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we build on data on Fed officials, oral history repositories, and hitherto under-researched archival sources to unpack the torturous path toward crafting an institutional and intellectual space for postwar economic analysis within the Federal Reserve. We show that growing attention to new macroeconomic research was a reaction to both mounting external criticisms against the Fed’s decision- making process and a process internal to the discipline whereby institutionalism was displaced by neoclassical theory and econometrics. We argue that the rise of the number of PhD economists working at the Fed is a symptom rather than a cause of this transformation. Key to our story are a handful of economists from the Board of Governors’ Division of Research and Statistics (DRS) who paradoxically did not always held a PhD but envisioned their role as going beyond mere data accumulation and got involved in large-scale macroeconometric model building. We conclude that the divide between PhD and non-PhD economists may not be fully relevant to understand both the shift in the type of economics practiced at the Fed and the uses of this knowledge in the decision making-process. Equally important was the rift between different styles of economic analysis. 1 I.

  • What Have We Learned Since October 1979? by Alan S. Blinder Princeton
    What Have We Learned since October 1979? by Alan S. Blinder Princeton University CEPS Working Paper No. 105 April 2005 “What Have We Learned since October 1979?” by Alan S. Blinder Princeton University∗ My good friend Ben Bernanke is always a hard act to follow. When I drafted these remarks, I was concerned that Ben would take all the best points and cover them extremely well, leaving only some crumbs for Ben McCallum and me to pick up. But his decision to concentrate on one issue—central bank credibility—leaves me plenty to talk about. Because Ben was so young in 1979, I’d like to begin by emphasizing that Paul Volcker re-taught the world something it seemed to have forgotten at the time: that tight monetary policy can bring inflation down at substantial, but not devastating, cost. It seems strange to harbor contrary thoughts today, but back then many people believed that 10% inflation was so deeply ingrained in the U.S. economy that we might to doomed to, say, 6-10% inflation for a very long time. For example, Otto Eckstein (1981, pp. 3-4) wrote in a well-known 1981 book that “To bring the core inflation rate down significantly through fiscal and monetary policies alone would require a prolonged deep recession bordering on depression, with the average unemployment rate held above 10%.” More concretely, he estimated that it would require 10 point-years of unemployment to bring the core inflation rate down a single percentage point,1 which is about five times more than called for by the “Brookings rule of thumb.”2 In the event, the Volcker disinflation followed the Brookings rule of thumb rather well.

This alliance transformed how economists conduct research and how AND COLLEGIAL policy is made. In a sense, it was modeled on the close bond between Walter Heller, the COOPERATION policy-oriented chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President John F. Kennedy, and Leonid Hurwicz, the brilliant theoretician and future Nobel laureate. They built the University’s world-class economics department that joined with Fed policymakers in the late 1960s to develop better forecasting models, an effort soon usurped by the then-radical theory of rational expectations. What followed were research and policy ranging from time consistency to early childhood education, from sovereign debt to distributional inequality, from real business cycles to too big to fail. And, along the way, improvements in forecasting—the spark that began it all. We’ve convened to review lessons learned over the past 50 years about successful policy-academia collaboration and to explore current research that will shape the theory and practice of economics over the next 50 years. This is a celebration of all involved, past and present, and of the spirit of intellectual independence and collegial cooperation that lies at the heart of the partnership.

  • Interview with Walter Heller
    .. TV SCRIPT SENATOR HUBERT H. HUMPHREY AND DR. WALTER HELLER BOB COAR: This is Washington and this is Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota. Today the Assistant Majority Leader has as his guest, Dr. Walter Heller, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Now, here is Senator Humphrey. SENATOR HUMPHREY: Well, ladies and gentlemen, my guest for today is a very distinguished Minnesotan and a very able public servant. He is on leave from the University of Minnesota, so to speak, on loan to the President of the United States. He's Dr. Walter Heller, the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. This is a very important position in our government. And as the chief economic adviser to President Johnson, he has figured prominently in the news here this week--n~vs that relates, of course, to the preparation of both the Economic Message, the Economic Report and the Budget Message that have been submitted by President Johnson to the Congress. Dr. Heller was chairman of the Economics Department of our University before being brought here by the late President Kennedy in 1961 as the head of the Council of Economic Advisers. He's serving in the same role with President Johnson and I might add that he is doing an unusually fine and good job. I was with the President and Dr. Heller just this past week and I know how much President Johnson relies upon him and admires him. I can stand witness to that fact. Nmr, the first question I have,Dr. Heller, concerns the impact of the President's budget proposal-for our viewers and listeners here--just a few facts.
