St. Louis Fed Co-Hosts Equitable, Inclusive Wealth Recovery Research Seminar

The Federal Reserve Banks of St. Louis and Boston present “Toward an Inclusive Recovery: Achieving an Equitable and Inclusive Wealth Recovery” at noon CT/1 p.m. ET on June 29, 2022. The seminar is part of the 2022 Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series: Toward an Inclusive Recovery.

This seminar will discuss wealth trends since the start of the pandemic and how evidence-based responses, within households and the broader economy, can promote wealth equity and an inclusive wealth recovery. The seminar is part of the Federal Reserve System’s efforts to better understand how the wealth divide among different populations can create barriers for households as the Fed works to achieve its dual mandate from Congress – to promote stable prices and maximum employment.

The seminar will feature:

• Introductory remarks from James Bullard, president and CEO, St. Louis Fed
• Opening remarks from Sara Chaganti, deputy director of research, regional and community outreach, Boston Fed
• Panel 1: Trends in Household Balance Sheets with Fiona Greig, managing director and co-president, JPMorgan Chase Institute; Joelle Scally, senior data strategist and researcher, Center for Microeconomic Data, New York Fed; and Xudong An, assistant vice president of supervision, regulation and credit, Philadelphia Fed
• Panel 2: Evidence-Based Responses That Promote Wealth Equity and an Inclusive Wealth Recovery with Genevieve Melford, director of insights and evidence, Aspen Institute Financial Security Program; Jenny Schuetz, senior fellow, Brookings Metro; Lisa Servon, Kevin and Erica Penn presidential professor, University of Pennsylvania; and Janet Boguslaw, senior scientist, Heller School and Institute for Economic and Racial Equity
• Closing remarks from Prabal Chakrabarti, executive vice president, regional and community outreach, Boston Fed; and William M. Rodgers III, vice president and director, Institute for Economic Equity, St. Louis Fed

The Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series is a forum for exploring the intersection of research, policy and practice in community development.
