FED Chairman

FED Chairman is a single-player macro-strategy simulator in which you set monetary policy for the United States. You raise or cut interest rates, use quantitative easing or tightening, respond to unexpected shocks and track how decisions affect housing, jobs and markets.

Set policy

You review daily data, headlines and staff projections, then adjust policy levers and vote in a simulated Federal Open Market Committee. The game models more than 60 indicators, recalculating them as time advances. You can also use fiscal and regulatory tools, including tariffs and taxes, to influence inflation and unemployment. Its 20+ monetary tools include the Fed Funds target, IOER, swap lines and standing repos.

Respond to events

Events include oil embargoes, pandemics and debt-ceiling crises. The model includes regional feedback shown on a heat map, while the control-room interface lets you flick levers, stamp minutes and move dot plots.

Game modes

• Campaign: Play through four historical crises: 1929, 1973, 2008 and 2020.
• Mini Missions: Complete 30 missions with objectives to achieve.

Your overall grade draws on credibility, CPI, GDP and unemployment, and unlocks new scenarios.
