Chicago Booth alumni are welcome to attend the following Seattle Business School Alliance event sponsored by Haas.
Event Details
In the economic world, two things in life are certain: debt & taxes. But in the 2012 uncertainty looms.
Where is the U.S. economy headed? When will unemployment rates drop & inflation rates rise? What will be done to tackle budget deficits, and when?
How much will Europe's debt problems affect their economies, & ours? What more might the Fed & Washington, DC do to the economy? What might the economy forecast for Election Day?
These questions and yours will be addressed by Haas finance professor Jim Wilcox
