Newswise — Economist and national banking expert Tim Yeager, associate professor of finance at the University of Arkansas and former economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, is available to comment on Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke’s statement today that the recession has “very likely” ended.
Throughout the economic crisis, Yeager has been interviewed extensively and used as a source by many national publications, including Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Forbes and USAToday.
His research has focused on government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He has investigated the trend toward universal banking and conducted the first empirical study of the effect of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which removed barriers separating commercial banking from investment banking, merchant banking and insurance underwriting.
