Derby’s Take: Paper tallies rise of so-called activist Fed research
Christina Parajon Skinner of the Wharton School and Carola Binder of Haverford College authored a study which found that the research conducted by the Federal Reserve’s regional banks has shifted toward topics like climate change and social inequality. “All of the reserve banks are producing more research in these areas in recent years than in the past, but the trend is far more pronounced for some banks than for others, which might have the potential to politicize the system,” the authors said.
