RIVERWOODS, Ill. (Reuters) - U.S. government shutdowns usually have a relatively small drag on the overall economy, though the Federal Reserve will monitor the effects and length of the current one, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said on Wednesday.
"By and large these things are usually relatively small in terms of the imprint on the overall economy," Evans said, adding there is a risk that consumers and businesses will get more cautious. The current partial government shutdown entered its 19th day on Wednesday.
