Frederic Mishkin has only been on the Board of Governors for about a year now, but in that time he's become an incredibly good barometer of Fed thinking. If you were trying to predict the outcome of the Sept 18th FOMC meeting, and all you had done was read Mishkin, you likely would have nailed it.
I've linked below to Mishkin's most relevant speeches since joining the Fed. The paper he gave at Jackson Hole on Housing and the Monetary Transmission Mechanism is the most important by far. It's long (55 pages) and a bit wonky, but well-worth perusing.
