Homer Jones (economist)

Homer Jones (economist)

Homer Jones (1906-1986) was a prominent American economist.

In the course of his career, Jones spent time at Rutgers University, the University of Chicago, The Brookings Institution and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. He is best known for serving as research director, and later senior vice-president at the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, which he joined in 1958. Under his leadership, the St Louis fed gained a reputation as a maverick in the Federal Reserve System because of its espousal of monetarism.

Milton Friedman, who studied under Jones at Rutgers, credited Jones' encouragement for his decision to become an economist.

The St Louis fed sponsors an annual lecture in Jones' memory.
