| New Discussion Panel Just Added! | ||
| Special Topic | ||
| Given California’s role as a primary gateway for trade and commerce with the fast growing East, it is more important than ever that we gain additional insights into the intricacies and interconnectedness of the global economy. Please join the UCLA Anderson Forecast as we examine how “globalization” has evolved to encompass more than just trade and outsourcing. The value of our currency, mortgage rates and oil prices effect all of us in our everyday lives, and are all determined by global financial markets. | ||
