| Abstract | Economist Andrew Brimmer was born on September 13, 1926, in Newellton, Louisiana. After moving to Washington to live with his sister in 1944, Brimmer was drafted into the Army. Upon his discharge, Brimmer enrolled at the University of Washington, earning his B.A. and his M.A. degrees in 1951. Awarded a Fulbright scholarship, he traveled to India to pursue his studies before he returned to enroll at Harvard University. He received his Ph.D. degree in economics in 1957. He began working for the Federal Reserve Bank in 1955. During the John F. Kennedy administration he was appointed to a position in the U.S. Department of Commerce. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 1966, and in 1974, he returned to Harvard to teach. After running his own consulting company, he returned to the Federal Reserve in 1997. Brimmer passed away on October 27, 2012. |
