SAN FRANCISCO — When Janet Yellen took over as the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco seven months ago and went to her first interest-rate policy meeting in Washington, she had one key advantage: She had been there before.
Yellen was a member of the Board of Governors at the Fed during the 1990s, when U.S. central bankers were debating how fast the economy could grow without igniting inflation in the midst of a rapidly developing productivity boom.
Although Yellen says she expects inflation to remain contained — noting there are risks that inflation could ease, not just accelerate — the Fed still needs to raise rates further.

Janet Yellen stated the obvious that neutral Fed Funds is somewhere between 3.50% and 5.50%.

The Bloomberg headline was "Fed's Yellen Sees 'Neutral' Interest Rate as High as 5.5%" which is true, but she also said it could be as low as 3.5%.

Janet Yellen has had a dream career in economics -- a doctorate at Yale, prestigious appointments at UC Berkeley, White House economic adviser during the Clinton administration and two tours of duty at the Federal Reserve.
While at the Fed, though, she has been a nonpolitical voice for sound interest-rate policy, squarely in the mainstream, and is known as a fair- minded and rigorous thinker.
