Yellen's ability to connect economic theory to everyday life is considered one of the defining characteristics of her career, and President Obama cited her understanding of the high "human costs" of unemployment when he nominated her to succeed Ben Bernanke as Chair of the United States Federal Reserve. On January 6, 2014, the U.S. Senate confirmed Yellen's nomination. She was sworn in on February 3, 2014, making her the first woman to hold the position.
Early life and education
Yellen was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Anna (née Blumenthal) and Julius Yellen, a physician. Her father's family originally came from the Polish town of Suwałki. She graduated from Fort Hamilton High School in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. She graduated summa cum laude from Pembroke College (Brown University) with a degree in economics in 1967. At Brown, Yellen had switched her planned major from philosophy to economics and was particularly influenced by professors George Borts and Herschel Grossman. She received her Ph.D. in economics from Yale University in 1971 for a thesis titled Employment, output and capital accumulation in an open economy: a disequilibrium approach under the supervision of James Tobin and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, who later called Yellen one of his brightest and most memorable students. Two dozen economists earned their Ph.D from Yale in 1971, but Yellen was the only woman in that doctoral class.
"Our approach during this phase must be particularly dependent on information from incoming data,"
"has little scope to cushion the immediate economic fallout from such a severe and sudden blow to a region."
"Higher oil prices may be partly passed through to core inflation at least for a time,"
"The Fed has and must have a commitment to price stability. The uncertainties on the upside (for inflation) have only gotten bigger since Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast,"
"The Fed has and must have a commitment to price stability,"
"The Fed has and must have a commitment to price stability, ... The uncertainties on the upside (for inflation) have only gotten bigger since Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast."
"The uncertainties on the upside (for inflation) have only gotten bigger since Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast."
"The Federal Reserve must deliver -- again and again -- on its commitment to price stability,"
"One option that is clearly not on the table is allowing an unacceptable rise in inflation,"
"Estimates of the extent of spending are escalating, and the recovery and bounce-back, fueled by massive fiscal stimulus, could propel the U.S. economy on an unsustainable upward trajectory,"
