Fed chair candidates and state bond support

Hanno Lustig stated that if candidates for the role of Federal Reserve chair were required to publicly declare their willingness to bail out individual U.S. states by buying their bonds, it would be problematic.

Lustig said that such a condition for Fed chair consideration would not be good.

Lustig has previously argued that France must maintain GDP growth to preserve its welfare state. He has also examined core French state spending by excluding pension contributions to facilitate better cross-country comparisons. His work often addresses the fiscal challenges faced by governments and public institutions.
