Economic Outlook:  Policies and Prospects

How soon will the US and global economies recover, and how robust will that recovery be? Come and hear prominent economists from global firms with local offices.  Q&A will address how teams at these firms analyze data and produce forecasts, and what kinds of skills are needed to work in this fast-paced environment. 

A reception following the forum offers opportunity for further discussion.
