SUMMARY:Economic Forecasting Conference: Opportunities in the Modern Era
DESCRIPTION:Come join for the August Economic Forecasting Conference at Georgia State University: Opportunities in the Modern Era. \nSpeakers: \n\nRajeev Dhawan\,\n\nProfessor & Director\,  Economic Forecasting Center\nJ. Mack Robinson College of Business\nForecast of the Nation\, State and RegionRajeev Dhawan delivers his keynote presentation on the economic outlook of the United States\, Georgia and the Atlanta Metro Region. Join us as he shares his views on the state of the global economy as well as employment and consumption trends and their impact on industry in Georgia. He will discuss\, in particular\, the implications for residential and commercial real estate in the Atlanta Metro Region.\n\n\nGregory Daco\,\n\nChief US Economist\,  Oxford Economics USA\n“Global Economy: Recession Fears Amidst Rising Trade Tensions”While looser financial conditions and a moderate upturn in the manufacturing sector will be supportive for global growth\, the escalation in US-China trade tensions along with waning fiscal stimulus increase downside risks to growth. Ongoing accommodative monetary policy by the Fed and other major central banks should remain supportive of growth\, but any significant global acceleration looks a tall order. Beyond the short term\, tight labor markets will constrain employment growth while wage growth firms only gradually. This will likely limit the upside to household spending. In this global context\, a re-intensification of US-China trade tensions risks undermining sentiment and investment\, and could push global GDP growth below the post-crisis low of 2.6% in 2016.\n\n\nMichael Drury\,\n\nChief Economist\,  McVEAN Trading & Investments\, LLC\n“Why China Leads the Global Economic Cycle”The global economy has evolved from a group of regional economies interacting through trade to a single global economy dominated by multinational supply chains. In this environment\, China\, as the world’s low cost producer\, has taken the role traditionally associated with the Southeastern US in a US model. Monetary policy shifts in China now matter more for future growth than the Federal Reserve\, and their impact is most clearly seen in Chinese real estate markets as the leader of the global cycle. This model suggests strengthening growth for the world and US in 2019 and 2020 – unless disrupted by the trade war.\n\n\nFrank Norton\,\n\nPresident\,  The Norton Agency\n“Three Georgia’s\, Not Two”Mr. Norton will provide an in depth review of housing conditions and trends in Georgia. Affordability and opportunities across Georgia both in rural and urban markets. Mr. Norton has studied Georgia housing factors and the dynamics of growth as well as the constraints affecting housing development.\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:One Belt\, One Road: Global Challenges and Opportunities

The OBOR initiative seeks to link countries along the Ancient Silk Routes to advance cultural understanding\, economic development\, and diplomatic ties.

Professor Feng will discuss the implications of this massive initiative both for its direct neighbors (such as India) as well as for the West. \nModerated by DR. VOLKAN TOPALLI\, acting associate provost for International Initiatives at Georgia State University.\nDelegation led by DR. WEI ZHAO\, rector of the University of Macao. \n\n\n	From the archive:
