St. Louis Fed Announces 2022-23 Institute for Economic Equity Research Fellows

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has announced a new cohort of nine research fellows selected to conduct research while in residence at the Institute for Economic Equity.

“The research fellow program at the Institute for Economic Equity brings together leading scholars and practitioners across disciplines to identify and explain the challenges that prevent people from achieving their economic potential and how inequities might be addressed,” said William M. Rodgers III, director of the Institute. “The fellows, alongside Institute staff, disseminate their research in a variety of St. Louis Fed publications that are geared toward a general audience. By harnessing the findings of rigorous scholarly research, the Institute works to inform conversations about what can help us achieve an economy where all can thrive.”
