59 分钟Welcome to Macro Musings,
where each week we pull back the curtain and take a closer look at the most important macroeconomic issues of the past,
present, and future.
I am your host, David Beckwith,
a Senior Research Fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University,
and I'm glad you decided to join us.
Our guest today is Andy Levin.
Andy is a professor of economics at Dartmouth College and a longtime Fed veteran and an advisor to many central banks.
Andy has a hot new Mercatus policy brief out titled,
Is the Federal Reserve Overstaffed or Overworked?
Insights from the Fed's Financial Statements.
He joins us today to talk about it.
Andy, welcome to the program.
Well, thanks a lot, David.
It's really great to be here.
It's great to have you back on.
You've been on the show previously, but this new policy brief is really something else,
and I'm excited to share it with our listeners today.
Now, remind us before we get into it,
you spent 20 years at the Federal Reserve, and I was looking at your resume.
