  之前,盖特纳曾经过期欠交税。在AIG花红事件中,盖特纳是主角之一,而奥巴马誓言支持他,不必辞职

  早期的生活和教育

  Geithner was born in Brooklyn, New York.[1] He spent most of his childhood living outside the United States, including present-day Zimbabwe, Zambia, India, and Thailand where he completed high school at International School Bangkok.[2] He attended Camp Becket-in-the-Berkshires-for-boys, a summer camp located in western Massachusetts. He then attended Dartmouth College, graduating with a B.A.in government and Asian studies in 1983[3].He earned an M.A. in international economics and East Asian studies from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in 1985.[3][4] He has studied Chinese[3] and Japanese.[5]

  Geithner's paternal grandfather, Paul Herman Geithner (1902–1972), emigrated with his parents from Zeulenroda, Germany to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1908.[6] His father, Peter F. Geithner, is the director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation in New York. During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation's microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by S. Ann Dunham-Soetoro, President Barack Obama's mother, and they met in person at least once.[7]Timothy Geithner's mother, Deborah Moore Geithner, is a pianist and piano teacher in Larchmont, New York where his parents currently reside. Geithner's maternal grandfather, Charles F. Moore, was an adviser to President Dwight D. Eisenhower and served as Vice President of Public Relations from 1952-1964 for Ford Motor Company.[8]

  早期的职业生涯

  After completing his studies, Geithner worked for Kissinger and Associates in Washington, D.C., for three years and then joined the International Affairs division of the U.S. Treasury Department in 1988. He went on to serve as an attaché at the US Embassy in Tokyo. He was deputy assistant secretary for international monetary and financial policy (1995–1996), senior deputy assistant secretary for international affairs (1996-1997), assistant secretary for international affairs (1997–1998).[4]

  He was Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs (1998–2001) under Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.[4] Summers was his mentor,[9][10] but other sources call him a Rubin protégé.[10][11][12]

  In 2002 he left the Treasury to join the Council on Foreign Relations as a Senior Fellow in the International Economics department.[13] He was director of the Policy Development and Review Department (2001-2003) at the International Monetary Fund.[4]

  In October 2003 at age 42,[14] he was named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[15] His salary in 2007 was $398,200.[16]Once at the New York Fed, he became Vice Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee component. In 2006, he also became a member of the Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty.[17] In May 2007 he worked to reduce the capital required to run a bank.[14] In November he rejected Sanford Weill's offer to take over as Citigroup's chief executive.[14]

  In March 2008, he arranged the rescue and sale of Bear Stearns;[5][18] in the same year, he played a pivotal role in both the decision to bail out AIG as well as the government decision not to save Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy, though claims were made after Geithner's nomination that distanced him from both AIG and Lehman Brothers.[19] As a Treasury official, he helped manage multiple international crises of the 1990s[11] in Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Thailand.[12]

  Geithner believes, along with Henry Paulson, that the United States Department of the Treasury needs new authority to experiment with responses to the financial crisis of 2008.[5] Paulson has described Geithner as "[a] very unusually talented young man...[who] understands government and understands markets."[18]

  由于父亲是政府国际发展事务官员,经常驻外工作,盖特纳在美国、亚洲和非洲等多个国家和地区度过了童年时期。他高中就读于泰国首都曼谷一所中学,后回到美国就读达特茅斯大学,获政府和亚洲研究学士学位。此后,他又在霍普金斯大学获得国际经济和东亚研究硕士学位。他还学习过日语和中文。

  踏入职业生涯后,盖特纳的第一份工作是担任美国前国务卿基辛格的研究助理。1988年,他加入美国财政部国际事务司,并在接下来10多年中先后担任负责国际货币金融政策的副助理部长、负责国际事务的助理部长和负责国际事务的副部长。2002年,他加入美国外交学会,成为国际经济部门的高级研究员。同时,他还担任国际货币基金组织的政策发展和回顾部门负责人。2003年10月,他被任命为纽约联邦储备银行行长。2008年11月24日,美国当选总统奥巴马正式提名纽约联邦储备银行行长蒂莫西·盖特纳掌管财政部。

  美国经济界和媒体认为,盖特纳对货币和金融政策理解深刻,并在国际贸易领域拥有丰富经验。此前,他曾参与过墨西哥、印度尼西亚、韩国、巴西和泰国等国的经济救援项目。2008年金融危机爆发后,他在稳定华尔街金融形势中发挥了核心作用。另外,盖特纳虽然曾为克林顿政府效力,但他没有强烈的党派意识,与国会共和党人和民主党人均保持良好关系。
