“…The results of that exercise showed that Burns had approximately 50 percent of the voting weight in the Committee. This finding supports the conclusion reached by previous analysts who have argued that the Fed Chairman is especially powerful; see, for example, Hakes (1990), Havrilesky (1995), Kettl (1986), Krause (1994), Peek and Wilcox (1987), and Woolley (1984). Our previous analysis investigated the power of the Chairman in a limited context.…”

“…One factor that is not explored within this study is congressional influence on FOMC consensual decision making. Though Grier (1991) and Havrilesky (1993) each assert that congressional oversight of monetary policy is motivated by a strong electoral incentive to keep interest rates from becoming too high, it is not relevant to the study of general consensual behavior of FOMC members.5 The central theme of this paper deals with the heterogeneity of bureaucratic agents, as reflected by the formal and informal aspects that influence their consensual behavior on the FOMC, not the substantive content of monetary policy actions. 6…”
