In J. Marte, in Bloomberg:Prominent economists are rallying behind Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook after President Donald Trump moved to fire her based on allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.Nearly 600 economists have signed an open letter backing Cook, saying there is a high bar for removing Fed governors and that elected officials should refrain from actions and rhetoric that erode the central bank’s independence.The letter, released Tuesday, included诺贝尔奖获得者克劳迪娅·戈德（Claudia Goldin）和保罗·罗默（Paul Romer）的签名。克里斯蒂娜·罗默（Christina Romer）也签署了俄亥俄州立大学教授特雷弗·洛根（Trevon Logan），他曾担任巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）总统经济顾问委员会主席，他与库克（Cook）共同撰写了论文。这封信在这里。
