Draft

Stock markets around the world have experienced turbulent highs and lows in recent weeks – including the Dow’s dramatic 800-point loss, the worst of 2019 – as the ongoing trade war between the United States and China now shows signs of slowing the global economy.


Hofstra University Provost and Professor of Economics Herman Berliner can help make sense of the volatility that has struck the market, which has shown conflicting evidence of both a potential recession as well as robust consumer growth. 


Dr. Berliner has been featured in media outlets including NBC News 4 New York, Fox 5 NY, NPR, Newsday, and News 12 Long Island, on topics ranging from the U.S.-China trade war to credit card rates and changes to the federal tax plan.

Understanding What Vance Does and Doesn’t do for the GOP Ticket

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, talked to News 12 about the selection of Senator J.D. Vance as former President Donald Trump’s running mate in the presidential race. “It’s a little surprising that he didn’t try to expand his base a little bit because it’s almost certain that the people who are going decide this election, our moderate middle of the road, suburban voters, most of whom are unhappy with Donald Trump after having supported him in 2016. J.D. Vance does almost nothing to build those bridges in some circles. Actually instead of a bridge builder, he is considered a bridge burner.” Lawrence Levy is available to speak with media - simply click on his icon now to arrange an interview today.
