John Mullin

Richmond Fed Economic Brief, 2022, vol. 22, issue 13

Abstract: How did the expansion of unemployment benefits during the pandemic affect aggregate spending and job search? What are the short-term and long-term effects of federal minimum wage hikes? Why do the effects of public pension retrenchments depend on how they are phased in? These were among the questions addressed by economists during a recent research conference.
