SUMMARY:Why Cleveland? The Story Behind the Fed's Regional Structure—and Why It Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:Why did the Fed originally decide to create 12 Reserve Banks distributed across the country? And why does that structure matter today? \n\n\n\nFirst\, you’ll get the history: You’ll learn how culture\, geography\, economics\, and politics influenced the structure of the Federal Reserve. You’ll also hear the story behind the decision to put a Reserve Bank in Cleveland. \n\n\n\nCleveland Fed economist emeritus Owen Humpage will answer questions such as \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat fears and traditional American values influenced the structure of the Federal Reserve System?\n\n\n\nHow did the Reserve Bank Organization Committee pick cities and decide the boundaries of Federal Reserve Districts?\n\n\n\nWhy was Cleveland chosen over cities like Pittsburgh and Cincinnati? And what controversies arose in the process?\n\n\n\nHow did a lack of clarity in the Federal Reserve Act create friction between the Fed’s national headquarters and the regional Reserve Banks? And what ultimately resolved the conflict?\n\n\n\n\n\nThen\, you’ll learn what the Fed does today\, nationally and on the ground throughout the District served by the Cleveland Fed. Senior media relations specialist Chuck Soder will answer questions such as \n\n\n\n\n\nHow can you recognize a dollar issued by the Cleveland Fed?\n\n\n\nHow does the Cleveland Fed work with financial institutions across its District?\n\n\n\nHow does the Cleveland Fed keep its finger on the pulse of the regional economy?\n\n\n\nHow does having Fed Banks in cities like Cleveland influence monetary policy?\n\n\n\nAttendees can ask questions during the Q&A portion of the event or submit them in advance through the registration form.\n\n\n\n\n\nThose joining us in person may sign up for a building tour (the Cleveland building is on the National Register of Historic Places). \n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\n\n\nOwen F. Humpage\, economist emeritus\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\n\n\n\nChuck Soder\, senior media relations specialist\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event with in-person and virtual attendance options.
