Emanuel Alexandrovich Goldenweiser was a Russian-born American economist.
Background
Goldenweiser was born on July 31, 1883, in Kiev, Ukraine (then Russian Federation), the son of Alexander Solomon and Sofia Munstein Goldenweiser. His father was a prominent lawyer, the author of books on law and sociology, and the legal adviser and friend of Leo Tolstoy.
Education
Goldenweiser graduated from the First Kiev Gymnasium in 1902 and immigrated to the United States the same year. He earned the B. A. at Columbia University in 1903, the M. A. at Cornell University in 1905, and the Ph. D. at Cornell in 1907, the year in which he became a naturalized citizen.
Career
Goldenweiser's doctoral dissertation on Russian immigration to the United States earned him a three-year appointment with the United States Immigration Commission as a research worker. During this time he prepared Immigrants in Cities, published in 1909 as volumes XXVI and XXVII of Reports of the Immigration Commission. For the next four years he worked as a special agent in the United States Census Bureau. Goldenweiser served from 1914 to 1919 as statistician in the office of farm management of the Department of Agriculture; during World War I he worked as well for the Federal Trade Commission. His interest in farm and census materials led to the publication in 1924 of Farm Tenancy in the United States, written with L. E. Truesdell. In 1919 he joined the Federal Reserve System as assistant statistician at the Federal Reserve Board. He became assistant director of the Division of Research and Statistics in 1925 and director of that division in 1926, an appointment he held until 1945. Simultaneously, from 1936 to 1945, he served as economist to the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, a key policymaking unit for monetary management within the Federal Reserve System. Goldenweiser was a pioneer in developing economic research and analysis as a factor in government policy-making. Under his direction the research division became one of the chief sources of economic information to both public and private agencies in the United States and throughout the world, and he personally developed instruments of general and selective credit control to handle problems of monetary management. He was primarily responsible for developing the Federal Reserve's index of industrial production, periodic surveys of consumer finances, and statistics of money flow for major sectors of the economy. An unprepossessing man who sought anonymity and was known only to his professional colleagues, Goldenweiser published influential works on economic and monetary analysis, including The Federal Reserve System in Operation (1925); The Federal Reserve System (1939, 1946); Banking Studies (1941), which he edited and collaborated on; as well as unsigned articles that he edited for the Federal Reserve Bulletin. He also produced a host of unpublished memoranda and speeches. Under Goldenweiser's direction the Federal Reserve became a model for central banking, and members of his staff influenced the organization of central banking in Ceylon, Guatemala, Paraguay, and the Philippines. Moreover, Goldenweiser devoted much effort to coordinating government statistical and economic research activities, serving as a member of the Central Statistical Board and other interdepartmental groups as well as the International Institute of Statistics. Because of his wide knowledge of world affairs and languages, he attended many international conferences. In addition, he was president of the American Statistical Association (1943) and the American Economic Association (1946). As a technical consultant on financial policy during World War II, Goldenweiser helped frame and negotiate the American plan for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Monetary Fund, both of which were adopted at the Breton Woods conference in July 1944, at which Goldenweiser represented the Federal Reserve System. He also helped to establish the National Advisory Council for Monetary and Financial Problems to coordinate American monetary and financial policy, and he influenced the creation of the Council of Economic Advisers. When Goldenweiser left the post of director of the Division of Research and Statistics in 1945, he became the economic adviser to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System, where he served until his retirement in 1946. Before concluding his thirty-eight years of government service, he published Jobs, a study of postwar employment, which appeared as the first pamphlet in a series of postwar economic studies prepared by the Federal Reserve. In 1946 Goldenweiser joined the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey, where he remained for four years. He organized the institute's seminar on monetary and financial policy and acted as consultant to the Committee for Economic Development, conducting a series of investigations that resulted in the publication of Monetary Management in the United States (1949) and American Monetary Policy (1951). He also worked as a technical expert for a number of United Nations commissions. After he left the Institute, he remained in Princeton, continuing to serve as a consultant until his death, which occured on April 21, 1953 in Princeton, New Jersey.
