(Bloomberg) -- Paulina Restrepo-Echavarria, economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, recounts how a male high school teacher sparked her interest in economics with his passion for the subject, and says in order to succeed in economics, women must be passionate about it, never give up, and "have the grit that is necessary to succeed."

Restrepo-Echavarria, who specializes in international macroeconomics, focusing on capital flows and sovereign defaults, as well as the theory of search and matching, speaks with Bloomberg Global Economics and Policy Editor Kathleen

Hays at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri.

(Bloomberg) -- Ken Matheny, Executive Director of U.S. Economics at Macroeconomic Advisers by IHS Markit, says St. Louis Fed Bank President Bullard has had "quite a lot of influence" on Fed policy, bringing a diversity of thought that adds discipline to the central bank's policy discussions. In contrast to Bullard's current views, Matheny says the Federal Reserve will hike its key rate a total of four times this year as the labor market continues to tighten and fiscal stimulus gives a boost to growth.

(Bloomberg) -- Ray Boshara, director of the Center for Household Financial Stability at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and William Emmons, say that while all birth cohorts lost wealth around the Great Recession, families headed by someone born in 1960 later had failed to get back on track by 2016, increasing the risk they may become a "lost generation" for wealth accumulation.

Boshara and Emmons, who just released "A Lost Generation? Long-Lasting Wealth Impacts of the Great Recession on Young Families," the second in their "The Demographics of Wealth 2018 Series: How Education, Race, and Birth Year Shape Financial Outcomes," spoke with Bloomberg Global Economics and Politics Editor Kathleen Hays at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri.

(Bloomberg) -- Jim Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, says there is no need for the Fed to hike rates more this year because inflation is still low, further Fed rate hikes could cause the currently flat yield curve to invert, and inflation expectations are still low and stable.

Bullard speaks with Bloomberg Global Economics and Politics Editor Kathleen Hays at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri, ahead of the bank's annual Homer Jones Lecture.
