The total does not include the pensions the couple earned at the University of California, Berkeley, where both worked as professors, nor Ms. Yellen’s pension from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, where she was president from 2004 to 2010, nor the home they own near campus. The disclosure forms do not include the salary earned by Mr. Akerlof as a senior resident scholar at the International Monetary Fund.”
