Transcription

Early life and education

Waller received a B.S. in economics from Bemidji State University in 1981, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Washington State University in 1984 and 1985.[4]

Career

Waller (right) sworn in virtually as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors by Chair Jerome Powell in December 2020. Waller was sworn in virtually due to precautions for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Waller worked at the Indiana University's Department of Economics from 1985 to 1998, where he was an associate professor, assistant professor and director of graduate studies. He was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and Washington University in St. Louis from 1994 to 1995. He taught economics at the University of Kentucky from 1998 to 2003 and was also a research fellow at the Center for European Integration Studies at the University of Bonn, in Germany. He was a chair of economics at the University of Notre Dame through 2009.[4][5]

Waller joined the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis as research director in 2009.[5] He was also executive vice president there.[6]

In July 2019, President Donald Trump tweeted his intent to nominate Waller and Judy Shelton to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.[6][7][8][9][10]

After hearings in February 2020, the Senate Banking Committee voted 18–7 in July 2020 to advance Waller's Fed nomination.[11] He was confirmed in the Senate on December 3, 2020, by a vote of 48–47.[1][12][13][14] He took the oath of office remotely via videoconference on December 18[15] from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.[16][17] His term ends January 31, 2030.[2]

Views

Waller is known to be a monetary policy "dove", favoring expansionary policy and low interest rates.[18] He has worked closely with the St. Louis Federal Reserve bank's president, James B. Bullard, who was a vocal supporter of lower interest rates in 2019.[5] Waller has argued that the Fed should not raise rates at that time (in 2019), when inflation was low and private savings were high.[19][20]

Waller's research has centered on monetary theory, political economy and macroeconomic theory.[21]
