Last week, we held the second annual Goodfriend Memorial Lecture during our September CORE Week which also featured the US Government Debt Conference. This year’s lecture was given by Maurice Obstfeld, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and a Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. In his lecture, Obstfeld discussed his paper “The U.S. Current Account Deficit and the Global Capital Market Revisited.” Footage from this lecture will be made available publicly in the coming weeks. The Goodfriend Memorial Lecture is one of multiple efforts honoring the life, work and legacy of former Research Director Marvin Goodfriend, who worked at the Richmond Fed from 1978 until his retirement in 2005.

Research universities benefit their surrounding communities by providing highly skilled graduates, innovation via research and development activities, and a large stable employer. However, one question remains: Do research universities make their communities resilient to economic downturns? In this Regional Matters, posts examine local, regional and national data that matter to the Fifth District economy and our communities, Adam Scavette, a regional economist, and co-author Robert Calvert Jump of the University of Greenwich, attempt to answer this question by examining the unemployment rate for counties containing state flagship universities over the past three national recessions (Dot-Com, Great Recession, and COVID-19). Read about their findings, including West Virginia University's impact on Monongalia County: https://bit.ly/3MQuFO5 #RegionalMatters #Education #EmploymentandLaborMarkets

When the United States entered World War II in late 1941, government officials called upon women to support the production of war materials and other supplies at home. However, many of these married women were also mothers, so what were they going to do about child care? The Lanham Act emerged as the main source of funding for wartime child care, as the nurseries provided care for children ages 2-5, and the child care centers offered care before and after school and during the summer for school-age children. In Econ Focus, the Richmond Fed’s economics magazine, Tim Sablik, a senior economics writer, discusses the Lanham centers, if they brought more mothers into the wartime effort, and what happened to these centers after the war ended in 1945: https://bit.ly/3zuJjYh #EconFocus #ChildCare #Employment #LaborMarkets
