Living Standards across U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas : a presentation at Bi-State Development 2017 Annual Meeting, St. Louis, Mo. October 6, 2017

Author

Abstract

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard drew on recent research from the St. Louis Fed and others to compare living standards across hundreds of metro areas in the U.S., just as living standards across countries have long been compared. He highlighted the importance of adjusting for price differences across MSAs when making such comparisons. In all, 381 MSAs in the U.S. were studied. Bullard noted that the St. Louis MSA ranked in the top 6 percent of these metro areas. This analysis may lead to other research on why some cities are more successful than others, he said. Bullard spoke at the Bi-State Development?s annual meeting, in downtown St. Louis.
