Markets, Market Failures and the Election

The economy is one of the central issues in the upcoming election. This lecture will focus on two issues facing the US economy: the slow down in GDP growth and labor market, and volatility in prices (housing, financial markets, energy and exchange rates).

The talk is free and open to the public and is in the University YMCA’s
Latzer Hall (located on the corner or Wright and Chalmers.) Lunch is available
through the Y Thai Eatery for $6.00 for non-students and $3 for students (school ID is required).
