Mark Thoma thinks Ben Bernanke should be reappointed

He writes:

I'd reappoint him. If forced to choose between Yellen and Summers, I'd choose Yellen.


I agree. I think Bernanke has done a remarkable job, and I think his temperament is much better suited to the job than Summers' (not that it matters, I suppose, but I also prefer Bernanke's academic work to Summers'). I also worry about the appearance of having a Fed Chair who has taken such large speaking fees from companies that he would be regulating.

    If the Bernanke has capability and suggestions to put the economy to the right path than he should be reappointed.
