59 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events Podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Thank you very much, everyone, for coming.
Hello and welcome to the London School of Economics for this evening's hybrid event.
This is hosted by the Centre for Macroeconomics.
And my name is Richard Reuss.
I am the Director of the Centre for Macroeconomics, as well as the A.W.
Phillips Chair Professor here at the London School of Economics.
I'm really very pleased to welcome both our online audience, this is being live streamed,
as well as our audience here in the theater, and to introduce to you Alberto Musalem this evening.
Alberto is currently the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
He has more than three decades of experience in economic policy, finance, and markets,
where prior to joining the St. Louis Fed, he served as CEO and co-chief investment office of Evince Asset Management.
And before that, he was executive vice president
and senior advisor to the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
And early in his career, he was an economist at the National Marketing Fund.
The highlight of his professional life, though, is, of course, though, that he was a student at LIC.
He got both his undergraduate and master's degree here.
We are very proud of him and very, very happy to welcome him back to the mothership.
During this evening's event, we will discuss monetary policy and recent economic trends,
