“There are 12 voting members of the FOMC, and they have been given the responsibility to control the aggregate amount of money and credit used by over 300 million other people. FOMC meetings are pretty important. Like other meetings, though, they include people with a sense of humor. The transcripts provide a word-for-word recitation of what people say at the FOMC meetings, and they also provide notations for intervals when what people say provokes laughter around the room. Going back over the 72 meetings from 1999 to 2007, there were 1,855 episodes of Laughter over that time frame, for an average of 25 Laughters per meeting. There are some interesting trends in this period.”
