Policy Evidence

Reporting Monday May 18 confirmed that Kevin Warsh's formal swearing-in as Federal Reserve Chair is scheduled for Friday May 22 at the White House. He has been confirmed by the Senate (54-45 on May 13) but is not yet sworn in - first Warsh-as-chair public statements and substantive transition output come after Friday's ceremony, not as the 2.1.2 narrative implied with the "first Monday in office" framing. First Warsh-as-chair FOMC is still June 16-17.
