Swerving Stock Market

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.

Iran Conflict Intensifies Focus on Affordability

Professor of Finance Anoop Rai spoke to Newsday about economic fallout from the Iran campaign, which is refocusing attention on rising costs at a time when affordability was already a top concern, locally and nationally. If the economy cools down, it could reduce the state’s tax revenues, and any actions lawmakers take to further help with affordability could lead to greater deficits, said Dr. Rai. “Then it becomes more like a philosophy. Do you help now during bad times and then try to recover later, or stick to your principles and say ‘tough luck’?”
