#Fed's #Yellen: Research needed to understand inequality issue

"More research is needed to understand what policies allow people to move up the economic ladder and what holds them back"

"I am not making political statements"

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Thursday, returning to a controversial topic for the U.S. central bank.

Yellen said that research may provide evidence of what allows people to get ahead, and to predict how individual circumstances impact income inequality.

"It would also be beneficial to understand whether any policies may hold people back or discourage upward mobility," Yellen said in prepared remarks for a speech to a Fed research conference here on economic mobility.

Yellen tackled the issue of income inequality in a speech in Boston last October, saying she was "greatly concerned" about income disparity in the United States.

#Crisis: #Greece tells #creditors it will run out of cash on April 9

"Greece has told its creditors it will run out of money on April 9, making an appeal for more loans before reforms on which new disbursements hinge are agreed and implemented"

Greece can get 7.2 billion euros of new loans from the euro zone and the IMF

But the request was rejected, euro zone officials said.

The appeal was made by Athens at a teleconference of euro zone deputy finance ministers on Wednesday organised to assess how far Athens still was from meeting the conditions for unlocking new financial aid.

Greece's appeal echoed remarks by Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis on Wednesday that the country would have to choose whether to pay back 450 million euros to the International Monetary Fund on April 9th or pay salaries and pensions.

He said it would choose the latter.

A government spokesman later denied that Greece would miss the IMF repayment deadline.

The #IPO #business: an anemic Q1, a cloudy Q2

"After an historic 2014, the first quarter of IPO activity has seen a notable dropoff. Thirty-four IPOs raised $5.4 billion, according to a report out today from Renaissance Capital."

Recent high-profile tech deals went public 

at levels that were below their most recent private funding rounds

That's half the number of IPOs and roughly half the dollar amount raised in Q1 2014, making it the least active quarter by IPO count since Q1 2013.

- The good news: Biotech IPOs continued strong, accounting for roughly half of all the deals.

- The bad news: Technology and Energy saw a drop off.

What happened? The drop in energy IPOs is no surprise, but tech IPOs dropped off partly because so much private funding was available that valued the companies at high levels.

That left little incentive for many companies to go public.

In Tech, there's too much (private) money chasing too few opportunities.

But the public IPO market has a certain amount of discipline, and they are usually reluctant to bid things up to the moon.
