tonight ’s pr ogra m

Dr. Ben Bernanke

For his critical role in leading the Federal Reserve System during the Great Recession, Dr. Ben S. Bernanke has been lauded on magazine covers under the headlines “The Hero” (The Atlantic, 2012) and “Person of the Year” (TIME, 2009). Simultaneously, he has been criticized by the political left for doing too little and by the right for doing too much.

Either way, few will dispute his position as one of the “Ten Most Powerful People in the World” as declared by Forbes in 2013.

Dr. Bernanke is a Distinguished Fellow in Residence with the Economic Studies Program at the Brookings Institution. From February 2006 through January 2014, he was Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Dr. Bernanke also served as Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee. Before his appointment as Chairman, Dr. Bernanke was Chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers from June 2005 to January 2006. He was also a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 2002 to 2005.

At Princeton University, Dr. Bernanke

was the Class of 1926 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs (1994-1996), the Howard Harrison and Gabrielle Snyder Beck Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, and Chair of the Economics Department (1996-2002).

He began at Princeton University in 1985 as a Professor of Economics and Public Affairs.

Before arriving at Princeton, Dr. Bernanke was an Associate Professor (1983-85) and an Assistant Professor (1979-83) of Economics at Standford University’s Graduate School of Business. His teaching career also included serving as a Visiting Professor of Economics at New York University (1993) and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1989-90).

Dr. Bernanke has published many articles on a wide variety of economic issues, including monetary policy and macroeconomics, and he is the author of several scholarly books and two textbooks. He has held Guggenheim and Sloan Fellowships, and he is a Fellow of the Econometric Society and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Bernanke served as the Director of the Monetary Economics Program of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and as a member of the NBER’s Business Cycle Dating Committee. In July 2001, he was appointed Editor of the American Economic Review. His work with civic and professional groups includes two terms on the Montgomery Township (N.J.) Board of Education.

Dr. Bernanke was born in 1953 in Augusta, Georgia, and grew up in Dillon, South Carolina. He received a B.A. in economics in 1975 from Harvard University (summa cum laude) and a Ph.D. in economics in 1979 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He is married and has two children.

How could we revisit 20082009 without singing the blues?

Blues artist Terry Garland is a renowned acoustic and master slide guitarist who has toured in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. His meticulous fingerpicking and driving, percussive foot-stomping, united with his vocal prowess, create an evocative, engaging transformation that has earned him praise among contemporary blues and roots musicians.

Born in Johnson City, Tennessee, Terry began playing guitar at an early age when his Uncle Paul, who played bluegrass, told him to watch and listen. Other great blues musicians

like Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, Blind Willie McTell, Howlin’ Wolf, and Lightnin’ Hopkins inspired Terry to follow his calling. “They played the blues on guitar or piano, just themselves. They were the music. Just a voice and an instrument,” says Garland.

Terry’s first solo album, Trouble in Mind, was released in 1991, followed by four more solo blues albums. He has performed as an opening act for Ray Charles, B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Leon Russell, Dr. John, and others.

The Richmond Fed

At Work for America’s Economy

As part of the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond helps foster the stability, integrity and efficiency of our nation’s monetary, financial and payments systems.

We’re proud to be one of Richmond’s leading employers.

Learn more about us at richmondfed.org.

Follow us on:

President, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond It’s been my privilege to know Ben Bernanke for 30 years, first as a fellow economist and then as a colleague on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed’s monetary policymaking body. The former chairman is a man of integrity and a dedicated public servant. He helped guide the Federal Reserve System through the recent financial crisis, and he was a champion of making the Fed’s actions more transparent to the public. I was honored to work alongside him, as the president of the Richmond Fed. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is one of 12 regional Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., form the Federal Reserve System. We opened our doors on November 16, 1914, in downtown Richmond, and for the past 100 years have served the Fifth Federal Reserve District— which includes the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and most of West Virginia.

The Federal Reserve System’s independent federated structure provides a diversity of viewpoints from across the country and brings critical regional perspectives that contribute to

national monetary policy. The Richmond Fed, as a regional Reserve Bank, works with our colleagues across the Federal Reserve System to ensure a stable and sound economy. We do this by managing the nation’s money supply to keep inflation low and help the economy grow, supervising financial institutions to help protect our country’s financial system, and safeguarding the integrity of the U.S. payment system.

To understand the current state of the economy, we conduct economic research and produce and analyze data at both the national and regional level. We also meet regularly with people across our District to learn first-hand about emerging economic issues and trends. We do this by conducting industry roundtables and other events to hear about current economic conditions directly from citizens. In Richmond, we connect with businesses large and small to learn about the economic challenges and opportunities they face.

We’re proud to be part of the Greater Richmond community. About 1,900 employees work locally for the Richmond Fed, and we offer internships every summer that draw from the area’s colleges and universities. As we enter our second century of service, we remain committed to faithfully representing the Fifth District as part of our nation’s central bank.

Richmond Fed Facts Headquarters located in downtown Richmond on East Byrd Street, with branch offices in Baltimore, Maryland and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Supervises approximately 370 financial institutions to ensure they follow safe and sound practices and consumer protection laws.

Processed approximately 3.1 billion pieces of currency in 2014.

Partnered with community members for more than 50 events and programs in 2014 to help promote economic opportunity and growth.

The Fed Experience is a free interactive exhibit about the economy located in the lobby of the Richmond office.

The Reserve Banks are the operating arms of the central bank. Each district serves banks in their respective regions, the U.S. Treasury, and, indirectly, the public.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is made up of the Board of Governors, the president of the New York Fed, and presidents of four other Reserve Banks, who serve on a rotating basis.

Member banks are stockholders of the Reserve Bank and comprise approximately 30% of the roughly 6,500 commercial banks, savings banks, and thrifts in the U.S. as of March 2015.

The Board of Governors are appointed by the President of the United States with approval from Congress; Reserve Bank Presidents are elected by their Board of Directors with approval from the Board of Governors.

Quantitative Easing is the Fed printing money.

No. The Fed is purchasing bonds on the secondary market, then crediting those banks’ accounts with reserves that didn’t exist before. They are not directly increasing the actual amount of money in circulation.

The Fed is responsible for fiscal policy.

No. The Fed is responsible for monetary policy; the U.S. president and Congress set national fiscal policy.

A return to the gold standard would make the U.S. economy more stable.

No. Changes in the demand or supply of gold would require changes in prices economy-wide.

Improving your bottom line since 1982.

THEN

Under the original Federal Reserve Act of 1913, monetary policy was largely a regional process conducted via loans to banks from the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, in adherence with the gold standard. The Fed did not have macroeconomic goals. Instead, the Fed’s founders sought to achieve two things: SMOOTH INTEREST RATES Before the Fed, seasonal swings in the demand for currency led to dramatic interest rate volatility. The Fed largely solved this problem by providing an elastic currency supply.

PREVENT FINANCIAL PANICS Bank panics occurred every few years, with sometimes disastrous effects on the economy.

The Fed’s lender of last resort powers helped mitigate panics.

NOW

The financial system has changed considerably over the last century, and monetary policy is now a centralized process focused on the health of the overall economy. The Federal Reserve Act was amended in 1977 to include the following goals: PRICE STABILITY The Fed works to keep inflation low while guarding against the risk of deflation. Price stability facilitates longer-term investment and economic growth.

MAXIMUM EMPLOYMENT The Fed supports full employment by adjusting interest rates in response to changing economic conditions.

These two goals are often called the “Dual Mandate” and guide the Fed’s decision-making in conducting monetary policy.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) consists of twelve members—the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and four of the remaining eleven Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis.

The rotating seats are filled from the following four groups of Banks, one Bank president from each group: Boston, Philadelphia, and Richmond; Cleveland and Chicago; Atlanta, St. Louis, and Dallas; and Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco.

Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents attend the meetings of the Committee, participate in the discussions, and contribute to the Committee’s assessment of the economy and policy options.

The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year; the most recent meeting was held earlier this week, March 17-18.

At these meetings, the Committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth.

FOMC watchers spend a great deal of time talking about the members of the Committee in terms of “doves” and “hawks.”

DOVES

HAWKS

Doves prefer low interest rates as a means of encouraging economic growth through increased consumer borrowing and spending.

They place higher priority on fighting unemployment than keeping a lid on inflation.

Hawks favor higher interest rates in order to keep inflation in check. They are less concerned with economic growth than they are with recessionary pressure brought to bear by high inflation.

2015 MEMBERS OF THE FOMC Deutsche Bank chief economist Joseph LaVorgna has written that the 2015 makeup of the FOMC is, on average, “more dovish” than 2014. LaVorgna ranks the ten current FOMC members as shown below. (There are two vacancies on the Board of Governors.)

The Fed Experience To help them prepare for this evening’s program, participants in our Student Room visited the “Fed Experience” at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond earlier this month. These students, from schools around the region, were given a tour of the bank’s operations, including seeing how cash is processed, participated in trivia games that focused on the structure and mission of the Federal Reserve system, and ended the afternoon with a brief presentation by a Fed ambassador who discussed the dual mandate of America’s central bank.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman

Ben Bernanke ABC News, 2012

Trinity Episcopal School advocates service to one’s community as an important aspect of individual character development and the creation of a strong community.

“Some elementary school students in our Mini-Economy program came up with the idea for an insurance company.

The students lost wages for forgetting to do classroom chores, so they issued protection policies. When some of their classmates turned out to be high-risk, they developed pricing levels. If students made five claims in one month, their premium went up. Try teaching that out of a book.”

– Stephen Day, Director VCU School of Business Center for Economic Education
