Homer Jones Memorial Lecture

This memorial lecture series is named for Homer Jones, who exempli�ed the highest
qualities of leadership in economics and public policy. As research director and later senior
vice president at the St. Louis Fed, Jones (1906-1986) played a major role in developing the
Bank as a leader in monetary research and statistics. The �rst lecture was held in 1987.
For the lecture on Nov. 2, 2023, Isabel Schnabel, an economist and member of the executive
board of the European Central Bank (ECB), shared her research on in�ation and the factors
that could determine the pace with which in�ation returns to 2% in the “last mile” of
monetary policy. Schnabel is responsible for market operations, research and statistics at
the ECB. She is also a council member of the European Economic Association and research
fellow at the Centre for Economic Policy Research and CESifo. St. Louis Fed Interim
