Navigating Inflation Waves: A Phillips Curve Perspective, Federal Reserve Governor Adriana D. Kugler, At The Whittington Lecture, McCourt School Of Public Policy, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.

Date 20/02/2025

Thank you, Tom, and thank you for the invitation to give the Whittington Lecture. It is humbling to be here giving this lecture to honor the memory and legacy of Leslie Whittington. While I did not cross paths with Leslie here at Georgetown University, when I arrived, I heard so many stories about her contributions to the school, the university, and the students. She worked on research about the effects of economic policies on children and families, so I know that if I had had the good fortune to overlap with her as a colleague, I would have benefited greatly from her work and presence. It is also an honor to be giving this lecture, because so many dynamic leaders have previously stood before you, including some who have been inspirations to me in my career, such as Alice Rivlin and Cecilia Rouse.
