What It’s Like to Be a Fed President at Jackson Hole | Odd Lots

This year’s Economic Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming marked a big change for US monetary policy, with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell telegraphing the first rate cuts in potentially two years. But what’s it actually like to be a policymaker at one of the most famous economics conferences in the world? And what do central bankers do when they all get together to talk policy? In this episode, we catch up with Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin, who describes what it’s like to be at Jackson Hole, what’s discussed and how the annual agenda put together by the Kansas City Fed comes together. We also talk about Powell’s speech and how Barkin is viewing the labor market right now.

Interesting conversation …when Tracey pushed to ask “what are we normalizing to?” When Joe touched on memory of labor shortages and expectation of unemployment having possible impact on reality. I like to imagine you both hanging out in the lobby and call it a job 😂
