交不起过桥费想不开了？
Mike Dueker, the chief economist at Russell Investments, was found dead at
the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington
state, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. He was 50.
He may have jumped over a 4-foot (1.2-meter) fence before falling down a 40-
to 50-foot embankment, Pierce County Detective Ed Troyer said yesterday. He
said the death appeared to be a suicide.
Dueker was reported missing on Jan. 29, and a group of friends had been
searching for him along with law enforcement. Troyer said the economist was
having problems at work, without elaborating. Dueker was in good standing at
Russell, said Jennifer Tice, a company spokeswoman. She declined to comment
on Troyer’s statement about Dueker’s work issues.
“We were deeply saddened to learn today of the death,” Tice said in an e-
mail yesterday. “He made valuable contributions that helped our clients and
many of his fellow associates.”
Dueker worked at Seattle-based Russell for five years, and developed a
business-cycle index that forecast economic performance. He was previously
an assistant vice president and research economist at the Federal Reserve
Bank of St. Louis.
He published dozens of research papers over the past two decades, many on
monetary policy, according to the St. Louis Fed’s website, which ranks him
among the top 5 percent of economists by number of works published. His most
-cited work was a 1997 paper titled “Strengthening the case for the yield
curve as a predictor of U.S. recessions,” published by the reserve bank
while he was a researcher there.
Policy Meetings
Dueker worked at the reserve bank from 1991 to 2008, starting as an entry
level research economist, then advancing to senior economist, research
officer, and assistant vice president, according to Laura Girresch, a
spokeswoman.
He helped the bank’s president prepare for Federal Open Market Committee
policy meetings and wrote and edited for economic publications, she said.
Dueker served as editor of the reserve bank’s research publication,
Monetary Trends, and also was an associate editor of the Journal of Business
and Economic Statistics, Girresch said.
“He was a valued colleague of mine during my entire tenure at the St. Louis
Fed,” said William Poole, who was president of the reserve bank from 1998
to 2008. “Everyone respected his professional skills and good sense.”
Dueker earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Washington, a
master’s in that field from Northwestern University and an undergraduate
degree in math from the University of Oregon.
