Dr. Edward F. Stuart
Professor of Economics, NEIU |
Economic Outlook 2012
During the January 19th Economic Outlook Professional Development
Meeting, Dr. Stuart, quoting another economist, summed-up the
current state of the economy as being "in a sour equilibrium". It does
seem that the more things have changed over the past 3+ years (TARP,
the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, QE I, QE II, etc.) the more
they have stayed the same. During this Webinar Dr. Stuart will review
why, despite this being an election year, 2012 is likely to end where
it began, drilling down on
the forces that are expected to hold economic movement in check over
the next 12 months, and discussing those factors that may eventually be
the foundation for the long awaited turnaround.
