It is crunch time for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. As with most elections, the economy is issue number one for voters. But also in focus like never before is reproductive rights, after the overturning of Roe in 2022. On the surface, these two issues may not seem related, but economist Laura Tyson says the two are actually linked. Tyson, who advised President Clinton as the first female head of the Council of Economic Advisers, is now a professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley.

The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have reshaped global geopolitics, trade, and security. How will these changes affect the relationship between the US and China, Europe, and the Global South? How will they impact US firms operating globally, and how might foreign leaders — and notably the Chinese leadership — respond? Recorded on February 16, 2023, this panel discussion featured a group of distinguished scholars addressing these questions, and the possible implications for the global multilateral order established in the second half of the 20th century.  The panel included Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; James Fearon, Theodore and Frances Geballe Professor in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences, a professor of Political Science, and Senior Fellow in the Freeman-Spogli Institute for International Studies; Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the Economic Counsellor and the Director of Research of the International Monetary Fund (who is on leave from UC Berkeley, where he is the S.K. and Angela Chan Professor of Global Management in the Department of Economics and at the Haas School of Business and Director of the Clausen Center for International Business and Policy; and Laura Tyson, Class of 1939 Professor of Economics and Business Administration and Distinguished Professor Emerita of Economics at UC Berkeley. The panel was moderaetd by John Zysman, Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley and co-founder/co-director of the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy. The panel was held in Spieker Forum at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, and was co-sponsored by Social Science Matrix (https://matrix.berkeley.edu) and the Clausen Center for International Business & Policy (https://clausen.berkeley.edu/).

A partir de terça-feira (2), os franceses entrarão na segunda etapa de suspensão das medidas restritivas adotadas durante a quarentena contra o coronavírus, em meados de março. A reabertura programada de cafés, restaurantes, museus, parques, piscinas, academias de ginástica e teatros, além de um número maior de escolas, é mais um passo na direção da normalidade. Mas as medidas de distanciamento social continuam em vigor e os hábitos de consumo dos franceses mudaram durante a epidemia. Os franceses entram na segunda fase de reconquista de liberdade e espaços com outra postura, principalmente na região parisiense, que ainda está classificada como uma zona laranja no mapa da pandemia. A circulação do vírus diminuiu consideravelmente em todo o país, mas ainda preocupa na região Île-de-France, onde fica a capital. Desde a reabertura do comércio de rua, há três semanas, a frequência de clientes nas lojas registra uma queda de 30% a 50% em relação ao período anterior à epidemia. O consumo das famílias recuou 34% no mês passado. Um novo jeito de consumir vai se instalando aos poucos entre os franceses: mais compras pela internet ou perto de casa. Os deslocamentos de carro ou transporte público para fazer compras diminuíram sensivelmente. Por outro lado, os comerciantes notam que algumas pessoas que decidem ir até as lojas gastam mais, como se elas estivessem tentando colaborar para a recuperação da economia. Setores como moda e calçados ainda não retomaram a clientela habitual. Por outro lado, a compra de bicicletas quadruplicou. As lojas de eletrodomésticos, decoração e material de construção também têm atraído mais clientes. Neste sábado (30), a Galleries Lafayette, que é considerada um templo do consumo em Paris, vai reabrir ao público. Vai ser um bom termômetro para medir se há de fato uma nova tendência nessa área. Franceses elegem três prioridades para o mundo pós-pandemia Uma consulta pública sobre as prioridades no mundo pós-pandemia, lançada em 11 de abril – já no meio da quarentena – pelas ONGs WWF, Cruz Vermelha e Make.org, apontou 14 prioridades na avaliação de 165.000 franceses que participaram dessa iniciativa. As três propostas mais votadas foram a criação de circuitos curtos de produção, a adoção da agroecologia em larga escala e a relocalização da produção de bens estratégicos no território francês, como medicamentos, máscaras e carros, por exemplo. Os participantes enviaram 20.000 propostas. Depois, elas foram votadas. Algumas foram rejeitadas, como a adoção de um programa de renda universal, a proibição da 5G e a redução do tempo de trabalho. Mas a maioria das pessoas manifestou o desejo de viver num mundo mais ecológico e focado na produção local. Em abril, 843.000 pessoas se inscreveram na agência nacional do emprego em busca de trabalho, declarando nenhuma atividade remunerada. Isso representa um salto de 22% no intervalo de um mês. A França tinha, em abril, 4,5 milhões de desempregados. Essa pandemia expôs e agravou as desigualdade sociais, e a França, apesar de ser apresentada como um país desenvolvido, não escapa dessa realidade. Existe um questionamento profundo sobre a necessidade de mudança de modelo econômico. O presidente Emmanuel Macron criou uma nova comissão de especialistas para ajudá-lo a pensar no mundo de amanhã, como ele fez com o conselho científico de 11 médicos que o assessoraram nas decisões sobre a Covid-19. Agora, Macron se cercou de 26 economistas franceses e estrangeiros para trabalhar em três "grandes desafios econômicos globais" no contexto pós-coronavírus: clima, desigualdades e demografia. A equipe tem pelo menos três prêmios Nobel de Economia – o francês Jean Tirole, os americanos Peter Diamond e Paul Krugman –, o ex-vice-presidente do Banco Mundial Nicholas Stern, especialista em economia do clima e ex-consultor de Bill Clinton, e Laura Tyson, uma expert em combate às desigualdades. Macron considera que a necessidade de transformar a economia para salvar o planeta exige a superação de dogmas econômicos em escala francesa, europeia e internacional. Ele deu prazo até o final de dezembro para essa comissão apresentar propostas nessas três áreas.

The Scoop on Berkeley’s Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) [Show Summary] Dr. Linda Kreitzman, Executive Director of the Master of Financial Engineering Program at UC Berkeley – Haas is passionate about the program. On today’s podcast Linda will take us through specific aspects of the program and what makes it unique, what it takes to be successful in the program, and some of the expected outcomes for graduates. Listen in to the “Queen of Quants!” Interview with Linda Kreitzman, Assistant Dean and Executive Director of the UC Berkeley Haas Master of Financial Engineering Program [Show Notes] Our guest today, Dr. Linda Kreitzman, earned her Honours Degree in Political Science, masters degrees in English, French and Spanish and later on a Ph.D. in Economics. Most importantly for our call today, she became program Director of the Master’s in Financial Engineering at UC Berkeley – Haas in 2000 and Executive Director of the program in 2006. Poets and Quants recently named her the “Queen of Quants” and in the same interview she identified herself as her students’ “surrogate mother.” Let’s learn more about the Haas MFE from this ultimate insider. Could you give an overview of the MFE program highlighting its distinctive features? [2:12] It’s a one-year program that starts in March and ends the following March, with four academic terms. After 75% of coursework is completed, students go anywhere in the world for a paid internship. The program is ranked #1 in the country and has 50% faculty and 50% industry professionals who teach in the program. We admit students who have PhDs, masters or straight from undergrads. We have a pre-programmed set of classes that anyone can take before coming to the program, which helps us assess them. We believe success is not just what happens in the MFE but also post-MFE. We place each and every student, which is what we love to do. If we find a student who is doing really well academically, we can recommend them for admission as early as their junior year, and then bring them on board and mentor them before they officially join. Any student at any university in the world can contact us about this. I understand that you’ve been the Director from Day 1. Why did Haas decide to have an MFE? [5:30] Haas’ decision to create the MFE came a little bit before I came on board in 2000, with professor emeritus David Pyle and dean Laura Tyson. There was a demand for financial engineers and students who could be very technical, with a stats programming skill set already, which MBA programs didn’t offer. There were other MFEs, CMU for example, but we were the first to launch an MFE at the business school, to make sure our students were not considered typical quants just doing number crunching, but that they had economic intuition and strong communication skills, which is what differentiates us from others. We wanted the ability to position our students in any field in finance or technology, not in the back room doing number crunching. What makes the MFE different from an MFin? Or an MBA? [9:45] The MFin tends to teach more the corporate finance side and is a general degree. With the MFE we are looking for people who already have strong programming, stats, math, and finance experience. We bring people who already have had corporate finance, and maybe already passed CFA level 1. Our program is much more technical, more data-science oriented. Also, the MBA program does not prepare students months or even years in advance but we do. Obviously academics, specifically in advanced quant subjects, are important to the MFE. The average GRE/GMAT quant percentile is 93.2 and the average verbal percentile is 77.7. The average UGPA is 3.75. Beyond the stats, what is the MFE looking for? [11:16] We are looking for people with strong logic skills, with a good understanding of financial markets (or willing to learn that), who are open to taking different courses to find their path,

I first came across Nouriel Roubini in 2007 at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Back then, the WEF annual meeting would run from the last Tuesday night in January through to Sunday lunchtime. The first must-attend session was a high powered panel discussion on the World Economic Outlook held at 9am on Wednesday morning. Back in 2007, the mood among the cream of the world's economists was buoyant, so the pessimistic Roubini cut a lonely and isolated figure who was referred to in the media as "Dr Doom". He was so very right on that call. Dr Doom became Dr Right. And ever since, when the consensus looked too cosy, like many others I have sought him out as the voice of truth. So my ears pricked when the Bloomberg Surveillance team caught up with the inimitable NYU professor to ask him about Bitcoin. His response is in a similar vein to those warnings he made ahead of the Great Financial Crisis.
