Santomero, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, will deliver the 2005 Hutchinson Lecture sponsored by the Department of Economics in the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 12, in 130 Smith Hall.

The annual Hutchinson Lecture was established in 1990 in recognition of his distinguished career and features a prominent economist who specializes in money and baking. In a talk titled "A Policymaker's Reflections on the Recent Business Cycle," Santomero will focus on how recent events, as well as ongoing trends, have affected both the economy and the conduct of monetary policy in this cycle. He also will address how he sees the economic expansion progressing. Santomero was appointed the ninth president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia in 2000, and he previously served as the Richard K. Mellon Professor of Finance at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. During his 30-year tenure at Wharton, Santomero held a number of academic and managerial positions including deputy dean of the school, vice dean of the graduate division and associate director of the doctoral program. He serves on the Visiting Committee for the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics, the advisory boards of the Wharton Financial Institutions Center and the Penn Institute for Economic Research and on Drexel University’s Board of Trustees. Santomero received a doctorate in economics from Brown University in 1971 and holds honorary degrees from the Stockholm School of Economics and the University of Rome.
