Why can Yellen, who is 74 years old, become a record-breaking person in continuous history? It may be evident from her growth experience and family composition.
In August 1946, Janet Yellen was born in New York State, USABrookeforest. His father was a Polish immigrant and became a family doctor after he came to the United States.Mother is an elementary school who is very interested in financeteacher。
Yellen has shown extraordinary intelligence and learning ability since she was a child. Although she is only 1.52 meters tall, no one dares to look down upon her.She was in New York State in high schoolBrookeLin Public School spent her time at the graduation ceremony. She was the student representative giving a farewell speech.
It is quite dramatic that Yellen has also reported on herself. As the student editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, she was responsible for interviewing outstanding student representatives who gave their farewell speeches. As an outstanding student representative, she can only interview herself.
Yellen entered Yale University directly after graduating from Brown University at the age of 21, and received a PhD in economics from Yale University at the age of 25.
Yellen’s childhood friend Susan Grossart once recalled to the media the Christmas holidays during his freshman year. “She took the first economics course and came home and gave me an hourSpeech, Tell me why economics is the best. Obviously, since then, her passion has been all on economics. “
At the age of 31, Yellen joined the Fed to study internationalcurrencyreform.At a luncheon at the Federal Reserve, she met her future husbandGeorge Akerlov. The two people’s common interest and views on economic issues made them feel sorry for each other, and they decided to “flash marriage” within a year.
George Akerlov is not an ordinary person. He is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001 and the honor of the University of California, Berkeley.professor。
“We fell in love at first sight, and then decided to get married,” Akerlov wrote in a self-report article after winning the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001. “We not only have a very good personality, but alsomacroeconomicsShanghai has been able to reach an almost perfect consensus.The only difference is that she isfree tradeSupport is a little bit more than mine. “
Akerlov recalled that the “flash marriage” between the two was not only romantic, but also practical considerations, because at that time he was ready to teach in England, so as not to separate the two places, he had to marry and bring her to England immediately.
Yellen and Akerlof have collaborated on many economics books and have taught together at the University of California, Berkeley for many years. Their economic thinking also affected their children, the only son of the two, Robert, who now teaches economics at the University of Warwick. He has taken a post-doctoral course in Applied Economics at MIT Sloan School of Business and is also an outstanding economist.
Former US President Barack Obama once praised Yellen for his outstanding judgment and hismarketHas a deep insight into the operation and is good at listening to the differencesopinionAnd build consensus.
《Wall StreetAnalysis by the Wall Street Journal shows that among the public economic forecasts issued by Fed officials from 2009 to 2012, Yellen’s forecast has been the most accurate.

Yellen’s colleague Andrew Rose at the University of California, Berkeley, remembers an earthquake they experienced together. They were on the sixth floor of an old university building when the earthquake occurred. When the floor was shaking, Andrew quickly ran to the door frame, but he found Yellen still staying at the table.
“She was quite calm and didn’t cry or yell.” As a professor and Yellen’s friend, Andrew said, “If Yellen faces the next gamefinancial crisisWhen-if she appeared during her tenure-she still behaved so calmly, I think we will be able to sit back and relax. “
Different from being vigorous at work, Yellen in life has another side.Professor of the University of California, Berkeley, entered the White House earlier than Yellen as an economic adviserCommitteeLaura Tyson said: “She has a good sense of humor, and the jokes her husband tells can make her laugh. I think she is a very adaptable person, and I think she is very happy in life.”
Yellen has a great interest in food and cooking. Friends always talked emotionally about the delicious pork chops she made, and her strong love for the town’s food.
In addition to economics, Yellen has another hobby that has been preserved since his teenage years. She started collecting stones at the age of 8 and owns more than 200 stones. These collections are now stored in their house in Berkeley, California.Her favorite collection is a large piece of Tasmanian hematite, which was taken from her childhoodManhattanBought in a store in.In addition, Yellen and her husband are said to have a value of about 15,000 to 50,000USDStamp collection.
Harvard UniversityeconomistClaudia Goldin said that the macroeconomic field in which Yellen is listed is entirely a man’s world. When talking about the secret of Yellen’s success, she said, first you have to be smart, and you have to have the ability to express and be decisive without arrogance.
And Yellen did it all.
