Education

Liang graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in economics in 1979. She later completed an M.A. (1984) and Ph.D. (1986) in economics at the University of Maryland, College Park.[4] Liang's doctoral thesis was An empirical conjectural variation model of oligopoly.[5]

Career

Prior to her government service, Liang was a private sector economist in Washington, D. C., starting at Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates from 1979 to 1980, then at Data Resources Inc. from 1980 to 1981. From 1981 to 1984, Liang taught economics at the University of Maryland, College Park. In the summer of 1983, Liang was an economist for MCI Inc. Liang was a research associate at the Bureau of Economics at the Federal Trade Commission from 1985 to 1986.[4]

After completing her doctorate, Liang joined the Federal Reserve Board as an economist at the financial structure division in 1986. After eight years at financial structure, Liang moved to the capital markets section in 1994.[4] Liang headed the capital markets section from 1997 to 2001.[4] In 2001, Liang became assistant director for research and statistics for the Federal Reserve Board.[4] The Fed promoted Liang to senior associate director in 2006.[6] In 2010, Liang became the founding director of the Office of Financial Stability.[6]

Liang left the Fed after nearly 30 years to become Miriam K. Carliner Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution in February 2017.[7]

Federal Reserve Board nomination

She was nominated by President Trump for membership on the Federal Reserve Board on September 19, 2018.[8] Liang withdrew herself as a nominee on January 7, 2019, after months passed without the United States Senate granting her a hearing. Liang cited the possibility of being left in "professional limbo" as her reason for her withdrawal.[9]
