March 8 (Reuters) - Janice Eberly, a senior associate
dean at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management,
has emerged as the frontrunner in the White House search to
succeed Lael Brainard as vice chair of the Federal Reserve,
Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar
with the matter.
Brainard departed from the post last month to become one of
President Joe Biden's top economic advisers.
Eberly recently met White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients,
Brainard and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen for an interview,
the report said.
The Department of the Treasury and White House had no
immediate comment on the report.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that the White
House was considering Eberly and Karen Dynan, who served as the
chief economist at Treasury during Barack Obama's presidency,
for the number-two job at the Federal Reserve. The newspaper
cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
