Wednesday, October 15, 2008 Luncheon with Tim Schiller, Senior Economic Analyst from Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia

Regional marketers striving to get a share of consumer or small business wallets heared the latest data gathered by the Federal Reserve Bank on current economic conditions, as reported in the FRB's most recently published "Beige Book."

Tim Schiller, Senior Economic Analyst in the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) of Philadelphia, shared timely insights into several key areas including banking and finance, spending and tourism, manufacturing, business and professional services, price and wages, and real estate and construction. He summarized comments reported from bank and branch directors as well as interviews with key business contact, economists, and other market experts related to macro trends in and around the Delaware Valley and across the nation.

Schiller has been with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia since 1983. He advises monetary policymakers sitting on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and analyzes regional economic conditions in the Third Federal Reserve District, which includes eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and the state of Delaware. Schiller received his education in the region, having earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Rutgers University.
