Abstract: Recent reports indicate that banks are on much sounder footing than they were a few years ago. We take a look at the condition of 10 banks that are the peers of Bank of America, which was one of the first of the large banks to repay its Troubled Asset Relief Program funding in 2010. The latest data on asset growth, deposits, and loan loss reserves suggest that overall bank health is slowly on the road to recovery.

Abstract: One area of active interest for both policymakers and market watchers is to find a simple rule (or rule of thumb) that approximates Fed policy on interest rates. John Taylor came up with the first such rule in 1993, and since then, a number of variations have been proposed. One variation suggests that the Fed responds positively to increases in inflation above target (currently 2 percent) and negatively when unemployment increases.
