| Subject: More wasted space: Harvard economist may be named to Fed board Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:16 am | |
| President Obama is considering nominating two economists with backgrounds in finance - one of them a Republican - as Federal Reserve governors, according to a source familiar with the decision-making.
The White House is looking at Jeremy Stein, a Harvard economist, and Richard Clarida, of Columbia University and the bond investment firm Pimco, to fill two vacant slots on the seven-member Fed Board of Governors.
The strategy of pairing a Democrat and a Republican for the two vacancies would be aimed at improving the odds of Senate confirmation.
