A strong performance by District community banks in 1998
Keeton, William R.; Holloway, Michelle (1999-04)
Community banks in Tenth District states had another good year in 1998. They continued to benefit from solid growth in the district economy.

Mutual funds and annuities at Tenth District banks
Koenig, Corey M. (1995-07)
Mutual funds are today's second-largest financial industry in the United States, second only to commercial banks. Since 1990, mutual fund assets have more than doubled to $2.3 trillion.

The Tenth District's brain drain: who left and what did it cost?
Ferguson, Deron (1995-01)
Most of the Tenth Federal Reserve District states experienced a brain drain, or an outmigration of highly educated people, during the last half of the 1980s. Fortunately, the recent tide of migration appears to have turned for some district states. Yet, it is still important for policymakers to understand the full impact of a brain drain on a state's economy. Highly educated people are prone to move, based on their region's economic performance relative to other parts of the country. Thus, current favorable migration trends in the district could easily be reversed.
