Faculty Fellow Jeff Bergstrand (finance) has been quoted in a USA Today article titled, “As Treasury Chief, Yellen may be a Calming Influence in a Washington Split Over Stimulus and Everything Else.” The article discusses how Yellen would not only be the first woman as Treasury Chief, but she would also face a multitude of economic challenges revolving around stimulus packages, taxes, and how to spend the federal budget.
Bergstrand comments that Yellen is “a moderate and a centrist,” along with other professors who are in support of her.
